Introducing Continental Philosophy: A Graphic Guide

Prompt delivery. Excellent quality.

A most ambitious yet failed work. It is understandable that it is almost impossible to give a fair overview of such a complex topic in such a short book, yet other have succeeded in doing so. This one attempt is disorderly written , without a leading thread that would give the text meaning and direction. Therefore confusions reigns not even tempered by the otherwise useful illustrations. Well priced bu worthless.

I sense the author has not heard that where Marxism has been tried it has failed usually at the cost of horrific genocides usually on a scale so large as to make Hitler and his madmen pikers. The final straw for me was been he drew a moral equivalency between The Holocaust and Guantanamo Bay. If you want to read a good introduction to continental philosophy try "Continental Philosophy, A Very Short Introduction.

This was a nice summary. Thought provoking and I enjoyed the time and space devoted to some of less famous thinkers.

Cracking good book/comic. Gives a general overview of European philosophy as opposed to the American and British approach. This series of illustrated books give the readers a quick, but superficial overview of any topic. Many thanks. John

Great summary of some complex thinkers -the European thinkers -especially the French -still intrigue and pose some taxing questions ...a great place to start...

As an introduction to Continental Philosophy this little book is ideal. It traces the development of thought philosopher by philosopher demonstrating how each contributed insights and influences. The (slightly irreverent) illustrations served to illuminate the personalities behind the intellectual achievements of the main protagonists, and made the whole work more readable and accessible.

This is a very helpful overview of the main Existentialists. Not always an easy subject this makes a lot of the difficult bits clear.

great value
