Select Bibliography.

Index.

Steven M. Emmanuel is Professor of Philosophy at Virginia Wesleyan College. He is author of Kierkegaard & the Concept of Revelation (1996).

"Steven Emmanuel has done an impressive job of assembling a distinguished group of authors who give us a very helpful guide to the modern philosophers. With an eye to bringing us a up to speeda on the more recent scholarship, the contributors provide a timely, readable, and highly worthwhile collection." John Fischer, University of California, Riverside "This is a wonderful resource! It provides a valuable service by drawing on experts for eminently clear and engaging narratives. I expect to refer to it often." M. Jamie Ferreira, University of Virginia "This book is a worthy acquisition." R.H. Nash, Reformed Theological Seminary, Choice, January 2001 "A superb volume...Each essay is clearly written, with most or all jargon carefully explained. By far this booka s greatest asset...is the extraordinary way in which Emmanuel gets the different authors to provide, as if in concert, a chronological development of the main ideas of the period. Emmanuela s beautiful volume can, I think, very richly supplement a studenta s exposure to the period for those figures whose work receives little or no space on the syllabus."
