Modern Movements in European Philosophy: Phenomenology, Critical Theory, Structuralism

In this now classic textbook, Richard Kearney surveys the work of nineteen of this century's most influential European thinkers, and acts as an introduction to three major movements: phenomenology, critical theory and structuralism.

This edition includes a chapter devoted to Julia Kristeva, whose work in the fields of semiotics and psychoanalytic theory has made a significant contribution to recent continental thought.
