Engages contemporary European thought on a variety of philosophical topics.
Calvin O. Schrag, one of America’s leading philosophers, traverses the literal and metaphysical boundaries of Bulgaria, England, France, Russia, and the Czech Republic and offers a new examination of hermeneutics, phenomenology, subjectivity, and transnational identity. He presents his notion of rationality-transversal rationality-with unusual clarity and simplicity, while encouraging the continuing philosophic dialogue of humankind across cultures.
