Title: An Axcellent Read
Review: This book examines the work of nine of the most influential contemporary American philosophers since the mid-twentieth century through interviews. The interviews are focused around the historical opposition between analytic and continental traditions. Other themes addressed in the book include pragmatism, hermeneutics, logical positivism, Marxism. Giovanna Borradori does a superb job as both the interviewer and editor. The resulting book provides a good glimpse not only into the work, but the lives of these philosophers. Hilary Putnam's interview, "Between The New Left and Judaism" is especially charming. This book will be an enjoyable read for philosophers.
