“To understand a philosophy, of whatever kind, is, first of all, to get in touch with the problems it faces and the way these problems are addressed. Indeed, a philosophy is not just a set of answers. It is, primarily, a particular set of problems and a particular way in which these problems present themselves, in a particular interconnectedness, at that particular time, for particular thinkers…

To obtain an insight is to realize the complexity of things and to find one’s way in it through the use of reason in order to get some understanding. This volume will certainly help the attentive reader to find his/her way in the labyrinth of contemporary Western philosophy. If it could do that, it would be a great achievement.”
