Continental Philosophy by Simon Critchley

A Very Short Introduction

A concise guide to modern European thought that maps movements such as phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, structuralism, critical theory, and deconstruction as responses to questions of meaning, subjectivity, language, ethics, and politics. It clarifies the often-contested boundary with analytic philosophy by outlining different methods and shared concerns. Framed as an accessible primer, it presents philosophy as a historically situated, ethically engaged practice addressing finitude, nihilism, and the crises of modernity.
