Its unique feature is to focus on problems that cut across the established divide between 'analytic' and 'continental' philosophical traditions. Instead of segregating the two traditions, as is usually done, the authors offer a critical orientation and guide for readers who are not exclusively affiliated with either approach and who want to understand the increasingly shared questions philosophers are asking and addressing today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter starts with a fundamental overarching question:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWhat and how can we know?\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWhat is the structure of the world?\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWhat goes beyond the physical world?\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWhat is to be done?\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWhat does it mean to orient oneself philosophically?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder these headings, the authors critically examine the discipline's most fundamental problems.
