Lovejoy rightly indicts several continental philosophers for indulging in this pathos, which they sometimes do intentionally. Following a period as a university fellow at Cardiff University, Critchley was appointed a lecturer in philosophy at Essex in 1989, becoming reader in philosophy in 1995, and professor in 1999. Since 2004 Continental Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2001), is both an introduction to that tradition of thinking and an essay in meta-philosophy, which lays out the way in which Critchley sees the role of theory and reflection. I've been reading continental political philosophy since I left university (there wasn't much of it on the course I did), where I'd already read Sartre and Heidegger in my spare time.

Meillassoux writes in a way that is not typical of Continental philosophy and what sets him apart from many of his peers perhaps helps explain why he has gained such praise for his work; for some he has already earned a place in the hallowed pantheon of So it comes as welcome relief to know that After Finitude, a mere 128 pages long, is one of the more reader-friendly texts of recent French philosophy and that its basic argument is put forth with crystal clarity.

The first book to be produced by an 'editorial kettle' – all seven of its editors are under 30 and have been kettled by the police - Fight Back! For other examples, see William Vallicella on Badiou, Tillich, and Levinas. For such a great reader of Kant, you seem to be spewing nonsensical readings of him right and left, I mean you've become a joke around the pub with “Have you read this latest comment by Levi about Kant?….I interpret my Kant the way most of As a result, what you get are “competing species” in Continental philosophy where one sides with the Deleuzian text or the Foucaultian text or the Husserlian text or the Heideggerian text, etc. It was one such reader, who actually knew something about philosophy, that tipped me off to this silly smear piece by an "intern" at the magazine named Alexandra Heifetz who, best I can tell, studied philosophy--or at least attended classes--at Northwestern.
