Reviews

Kevin Hart, Department of Religious Studies, University of Virginia:

"The Catholic Reception of Continental Philosophy in North America contains variety and acuity in equal measure. It is particularly valuable to see attention not only to the philosophical questions and discussions that come to North American Catholicism from Europe but also an awareness of the institutional settings in which these questions and discussions are received."

Elizabeth Murray, Department of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University:

"This book is a richly informative collection of papers on a topic of great interest to faculty and administrators of Catholic colleges and universities. It will help to inform dialogues in both philosophy and theology departments as they plan future hiring and curricular needs."

Randall Rosenberg, Department of Theological Studies, Saint Louis University:

"The Catholic Reception of Continental Philosophy in North America features remarkable scholarship, and an impressive list of prominent and thoughtful scholars, who are arguably the most seasoned and prolific authors in their areas within the Catholic intellectual tradition."
