HELP!! Continental Philosophy Introduction with Readings

Post by amateurphilosophynerd »

needed.
Help! dear PN Folks,
My copy of The Blackwell Companion to Continental Philosophy was left out in the rain( I was absorbed in other things stupid girl!) along with Crime and Punishment and I need to have a good reliable authorative recomendation of an Introduction to Continental Philosophy that gives me Readings good enough to give me leads into the various philosophers of that ilk.
I plan eventually to replace above but I am stymied and need recomendations.
I am trying to find out about anaytical philosophy too in my travels
with grattitude and anticipation

this is for Research draft evaluation project

Post by amateurphilosophynerd »

so it needs to be readable if descriptive and give me appetite for philosophers concerned.

Current Academic Project: Research Draft Bid EValuation
sources Rawls Theory of Justice not yet read
Grammatology Derrida whole deconstruction thing
Critical Theory
with a bit of political philosophy thrown in for good measure.
Current Read; small read: UTOPIA Thomas More

One I eventaully found. I believe it is a a good one. At least I can read a range of Philosophers before alighting on particular ones.
