Daniel's Contemporary Continental Thought focuses on twenty authors who epitomize seminal work in critical theory, psychoanalytic structuralism, feminism, deconstruction, poststructuralism, postcolonialism, and postmodernism.

Editorials
From the Publisher
"This is a well conceived volume. The editor (Stephen Daniel) is judicious and well advised in his selections of texts." — Dennis J. Schmidt, Pennsylvania State University
"... I can certainly say, without any hesitations or reservations that this text meets a need, for there is nothing I know of that offers what this offers... its selections approach current continental philosophy starting from critical social theory, and continue to highlight the social-political contributions. This is a unique conceptualization among textbooks." — David Michael Levin, Northwestern University
"I feel that Stephen Daniel's text is essentially a "first", a long-needed effort to gather together these sources in Contemporary Philosophy... this text is ambitious and well needed. It fills a -gap in the textbook field, and the author demonstrates a true command of the material within the anthology." — David Stegall, Clemson University
