This book analyzes the principle of circularity within logical and philosophical works of leading representatives of the continental tradition: Hegel, Marx, Husserl, and Heidegger. The review pays attention to circularity in everyday life elucidating Marx’s–Mamardashivili’s “converted form” as well as Hegel’s logical movement from less true to really true based on the speculative presupposition. It is also exposed how the constant self-disclosure of Being as aletheia is Dasein’s circular structure of a dynamic teleological transcending towards being-in-the-world and being-with-others.

The article refutes the widely held view that R. Rorty's philosophy is close to postmodernism. It is shown that in the confrontation between analytical and continental philosophy, Rorty held moderate positions towards the end of his life, criticizing both sides for intolerance. It is argued that Rorty explained the differences in the philosophizing style of both branches by several factors, including the stance of Scientism versus Romanticism and Personal Versus Public.
