'This unique collection succeeds on all fronts. Summing up: Essential.' - CHOICE‘The Routledge Companion to Twentieth Century Philosophy sets itself the Herculean task of surveying the philosophy of a whole century which saw the rise and fall of many powerful philosophical movements, movements which were themselves inspired by such giants as Carnap, Dewey, Husserl, Sartre and Wittgenstein, and of doing justice to those movements and those giants, without being either uncritically bland or inappropriately partisan, and, marvelous to relate, it succeeds. This will be a wonderful introduction to philosophy for the student and an indispensable addition to the library of the teacher of philosophy.’ - Hilary Putnam, Harvard University, USA'It is hard to imagine a more useful, comprehensive or distinguished collection of essays on Western philosophy in the twentieth century. For anyone looking for an authoritative overview of the current state of the subject and its recent history this is where to find it.' - Quassim Cassam, University of Cambridge, UK'Philosophy is reflectively self-conscious. Distinctive among departments of thought, it absorbs its own meta-discipline. This outstanding volume is meta-philosophy of a high order: a welcome, expert review of the course of our discipline in the century just ended.' - Ernest Sosa, Rutgers University, USA
