Know about the book -

Idea of Continental Philosophy is written by Simon Glendinning and published by Edinburgh University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 074862709X (ISBN 10) and 9780748627097 (ISBN 13).

The idea of Continental Philosophy has never been properly explained in philosophical terms. In this short and engaging book Simon Glendinning attempts finally to succeed where others have failed--although not by giving an account of its internal unity but by showing instead why no such account can be given. Providing a clear picture of the current state of the contemporary philosophical culture Glendinning traces the origins and development of the idea of a distinctive Continental tradition, critiquing current attempts to survey the field of contemporary philosophy.
