Review Quotes: "Stewart's fresh approach to the so-called 'antagonism' between idealism and existentialism is both welcome and edifying. His careful, nuanced scholarship encourages the reader to re-consider and re-evaluate the major debates that shaped the development of European philosophy in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries." - Daniel Conway, Texas A&M University, USA
