French Philosophy of the Sixties: An Essay on Antihumanism by  Ferry and Renaut
Prophets of Extremity: Nietzsche, Heidegger,Foucault, Derrida by Allen Megill
Introduction to Phenomenology by Dermot Moran
The Phenomenological Movement: A Historical Introduction by Herbert Spiegelberg

As a reader I can’t think of higher praise for a book than that it made clear, what had been obscure or unintelligible, until the moment of my readerly engagement. Professor Gutting does not, at any point, engage in pointless forms of hagiography, as regards any of the thinkers that he writes about, in this indipensible history of philosophy. There is wit and salt here to enliven the inquiry and a healthy dose skepticism, in service to making clear some of the most obscure philosophers,thinkers, writers ever to put pen to paper;he even suggests a methodology for reading any obscure writer, that emphatically strikes a chord with a beleaguered reader. In short, invest your time and money wisely, in reading Professor Gutting’s book first followed by Ferry and Renaut’s and then Professor Megill’s. If you are really interested in Phenomenology be sure to read Professor Moran’s lively and witty Introduction, whose virtue is also an enlivening skepticism, about many, but not all, of the thinkers covered by Professor Gutting’s book. Professor Spiegelberg’s history is also worthy of the time of any serious inquirer.
