Review Quotes: "Sinclair (Queen's Univ., UK) and Whistler (Royal Holloway, Univ. of London, UK) have edited an outstanding collection of 41 essays on modern French philosophy that will be of much benefit to those working in French philosophy, science, and literature, as well as those with broader interests in modern intellectual history. This is one of those volumes that every university library should own. This reviewer has no doubt that this will be one of those valuable tools that will regularly be pulled off the shelf." -- M. W.
