Summary: Outstanding, definitive, tour de force
Comment: If you've ever wondered what all those big words that Continental philosophers love to use actually mean (hermeneutics, deconstruction, dialectics, modernism, post-modernism), this is the book that will explain it to you. As a suitable companion volume to John D. Caputo's "Radical Hermeneutics," "Post-Cartesian Meditations" is the product of sustained, critical and incisive thinking on the central philosophical questions of our time. There is something here for the professional philosopher (Marsh and Caputo are colleagues, and here one will get a good sense of the debate between them, which is developed at length in a work they have co-authored, "Modernity and Its Discontents"), as well as the serious novice. This work is phenomenology at its best, by a first-rate thinker and first-rate human being (I had the pleasure of being a student of his, years ago). Marsh has managed to bring together Marx, Husserl, Habermas, and some Heidegger in an engaging and fertile synthesis. If I had to discard every book I've read on phenomenology (I wouldn't want to) except one, this is the one I'd keep. Justin Thacker, Los Angeles, California
