Excellent Anthology

From Kant through Zizek, this anthology has something for everyone who wants to study continental philosophy. With a skillful professor, this anthology can work in almost any class. An anthology is not meant to substitute for an indepth study of the major figures, but it offers a great first exposure to the wealth of material of continental philosophy. I recommend it! There are not enough student-friendly texts out there. This is a welcomed addition.
