A group of writers as diverse as Europe itself contribute to this fantastic collection of essays. Some were better than others. The usual suspects include Jurgen Habermas, Jacques Derrida, Umberto Eco, Richard Rorty, and Susan Sontag. The topics range from European identity, the EU and international relations, and the contested defintion of "continental" in "continental philosophy."
