Editorial Reviews

Review

"The volume is thorough and will assist readers interested in both Continental thought and traditional Anglo-American topics." (CHOICE, November 2009)

From the Back Cover

A Companion to Phenomenology and Existentialism is a complete guide to two of the dominant movements of philosophy in the twentieth century. Comprising a series of original essays written by leading scholars, it highlights the approaches, styles, and problems common to the broad range of philosophers included under the banners of phenomenology and existentialism.

The volume features three types of entry: longer essays discussing each of the main schools of thought; shorter essays introducing prominent themes and concepts, such as temporality, death, and nihilism; and problem-oriented chapters discussing important phenomenological and existential approaches to the central questions that have preoccupied each of these traditions. The essays cover both mainstream and less usual topics, such as medicine, the emotions, artificial intelligence, and environmental philosophy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome and important focus June 26, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This volume is a welcome addition to Blackwell's excellent series of "companions" to philosophical figures and schools. Its focus is important--it acknowledges implicitly that phenomenology has a variety of dimensions, but also that existentialism played a key role in the development of phenomenology. It also insists, rightly, that existentialism should not be understood outside of its phenomenological roots. Dreyfus and Wrathall are a marvelous team in their own writing, and they have done their usual impeccable job gathering clear-thinking and clear-writing scholars to produce a truly helpful volume for students of philosophy at all levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Review September 25, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is my review. It is a review for the above title. The above title is less of a philosophical companion than just a collection of essays which have served as my companion, philosophically.
