Synopsis
Contemporary continental philosophy stands in the wake ofthe work of G. W. F. Hegel (1770-1831). This invaluablecollection is the first to gather the most important works on Hegel from the following luminaries of contemporary continental thought: Aclorno, Agamben, Althusser, Bataille, Blanchot, Butler, Deleuze, Derrida, Fanon, Gadamer, Hyppolite, Irigaray, Kojeve, Kristeva, Lacan, Levinas, Lukacs, Merleau-Ponty; Nancy, Sallis, Sartre, Wahl, and Zizek. Thewritings cover significant movements within continental philosophy, including phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, psychoanalysis, critical theory, feminism, literary criticism, and cleconstruction. These thought-provoking analyses provide support for Merleau Panty's observation: "All of the great philosophical ideas of the past century--the philosophies of Marx and Nietzsche, phenomenology, German existentialism, and psychoanalysis--had their beginnings in Hegel."
