The Continental Ethics Reader by Peter Atterton

The Continental Ethics Reader by Peter Atterton

The Continental Ethics Reader is the first comprehensive anthology of classic writings on ethics and moral philosophy from the major figures in Continental thought. The carefully selected readings are divided into five sections: Phenomenology and Hermeneutics, Existentialism, Critical Theory, Postmodernism, Psychoanalysis and Feminism. All of the authors and their writings are introduced and placed in philosophical context by the editors. The Continental Ethics Reader is an ideal point of entry to the most pressing issues and most important thinkers of the Continental tradition, and provides a thorough and much needed introduction to the field.

"A superb volume and certainly one that I--and many other professors--would find immensely helpful" -- Richard Kearney, Boston College

"The Continental Ethics Reader establishes the depth and significance of the contribution by Continental philosophers to our understanding of ethics. The breadth and balance of this volume make it an invaluable resource for students and teachers alike." -- Robert Bernasconi, The University of Memphis

'[This book] is, no doubt, a much-needed resource for students and researchers in a variety of disciplines currently influenced by Continental thought.' - Critical and Cultural Theory
