Simon Critchley (geb. 1960 in England) ist Philosoph und lehrt an der New School for Social Research in New York. Sein Interesse kreist um das Verhältnis von Philosophie und Politik, das Problem der Verantwortung und des Handelns sowie den philosophischen Rang von Dichtung und Literatur. Immer wieder beschäftigt er sich mit der von gegenseitigem Mißtrauen beherrschten Kontroverse zwischen »kontinentaleuropäischer« und analytischer »angelsächsischer« Philosophie. Zwischen 1998 und 2004 war er Programmdirektoram Collège International de Philosophie in Paris und zudem mehrmals Humboldt-Stipendiat an der Universität Frankfurt.

"This anthology makes an important contribution to the study of Continental philosophy in English--speaking countries, tracing its roots back to attempts to overcome Kantian and neo--Kantian philosophy. These articles are concise summaries and are accessible to nonspecialists while still interesting to specialists. Recommended for upper--division graduates, graduate students, and faculty." Choice "The chapters on individual writers discuss the major works, ideas and achievements of their subject. The accounts are clear, informative and appear to be very even handed in the discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the philosophers." Philosophy and Religion
