In Kant’s Wake evaluates the four main trends in philosophy in the twentieth century — Marxism, Anglo-American analytic, American pragmatism, and continental philosophy — and argues that all four evolved in reaction to Kant’s fascinating and demanding philosophy.

• Gives a sense of the main thinkers and problems, and the nature of their debates;
  
• Provides an intriguing assessment of the accomplishments of twentieth-century philosophy.
