The New Century cover

This volume covers the period between the 1890s and 1930s, a period that witnessed revolutions in the arts and society which set the agenda for the rest of the century. In philosophy, the period saw the birth of analytic philosophy, the development of new programmes and new modes of inquiry, the emergence of phenomenology as a new rigorous science, the birth of Freudian psychoanalysis, and the maturing of the discipline of sociology. This period saw the most influential work of a remarkable series of thinkers who reviewed, evaluated and transformed 19th-century thought. A generation of thinkers - among them, Henri Bergson, Emile Durkheim, Sigmund Freud, Martin Heidegger, Edmund Husserl, Karl Jaspers, Max Scheler, and Ludwig Wittgenstein - completed the disenchantment of the world and sought a new re-enchantment.

"One of the finer achievements of its kind and one that will aid both newcomers to continental philosophy (students and analytic philosophers) and seasoned scholars." - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "This is by far the most comprehensive and insightful history of that key period in continental philosophy spanning Husserl's entire career, the beginning of Heidegger's, and contributions of numerous other thinkers including Bergson, Scheler, Freud, and Wittgenstein. I know of no finer introduction to the thinkers and issues covered in this volume, which will be indispensable to any serious philosopher." - Robert P. Crease Stony Brook University
