The Norton Anthology of Western Philosophy: After Kant

The new standard anthology of nineteenth and twentieth century philosophy.

The Norton Anthology of Western Philosophy: After Kant provides a comprehensive introduction to the predominantly European ("Continental") interpretive tradition of philosophy after Kant in one volume, and to the now predominantly Anglo-American analytic tradition in the other. It features the extensive editorial apparatus for which Norton Anthologies have been known and trusted by professors and students alike for more than 50 years. Ideal for courses at all levels in the history of philosophy after Kant, these volumes belong on every philosopher’s (and philosophy student’s) bookshelf.

“"The Interpretive Tradition gives a synoptic picture of two centuries of philosophical thought on reality, life, humanity, society, knowledge, morality, and individuality--and much else besides. Its contents, along with the editor's introductions, allow the reader to follow different paths through its extraordinarily rich material and makes every path taken a dazzling intellectual adventure. It is a book that one will take up again and again and always leave it more knowledgeable--and perhaps a little more wise."”
