Synopsis

"This book is a collection of superbly crafted essays on some fundamental texts of modern and contemporary philosophy. All were first published elsewhere in French. The translation here is accurate and graceful. Typically the author comments on works in which one philosopher engages in dialogue with another: Hegel with Hobbes, Hegel and Heidegger with Kant, Heidegger with Husserl, Merleau-Ponty with Husserl. ... All of these essays repay a second or third reading, but the pieces on 'Hegel and Hobbes' and 'Heidegger and Husserl's Logical Investigations' seem to have an exceptionally evocative character." --Review of Metaphysics
