	Analytic philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Analytic philosophy is the dominant philosophical movement in University philosophy departments in English-speaking countries and in Scandinavia, although one of its founders, Gottlob Frege, was German, and many of its leading proponents, such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rudolf Carnap, Kurt Gödel and Karl Popper, were Austrian.
		The term "analytic philosophy" in part denotes the fact that most of this philosophy traces its roots to the early 20th century movement of "logical analysis"; in part the term serves to distinguish "analytic" from other kinds of philosophy, especially "continental philosophy".
		Logic and philosophy of language were central strands of analytic philosophy from the beginning, although this dominance has diminished greatly.

		The history of the split is actually very interesting, particularly as it relates to some issues and concepts that are currently important in analytic philosophy (e.g., intentionality, a concept that lost most of its significance in continental philosophy long ago, but which, when it was significant there, was much maligned by positivists).
		One of the annoying tendencies I've run into time and time again when talking to analytic philosophers about recent continental philosophy is that they don't actually posses any first hand knowledge of the tradition, and yet they quickly reject continental thought as "fuzzy".
		There he critiques Continental Philosophy on the basis of verbage and overgeneralization.

	Ephilosopher :: Continental Philosophy :: Is continental philosophy eurocentric?
		Continental thinkers see analytics as reducing philosophy to a method, thereby ignoring the historical issues and aspects of being human that do not readily conform to the method.
		The term 'analytic' philosophy was first coined to distinguish the particular style of linguistic analysis, including logical positivism, exemplified by such early and mid 20th century philosophers as Wittgenstein, moore, ryle, russel, carnap, sellars, quine and others.
		The main difference between the schools may be the fact that 'continental' requires a strong background in the history of philosophy, while analytic typically does not, but would do better to consider it rather than bring up positions or issues as though they were just thought of for the first time.

	Contemporary Continental Philosophy
		Analytic philosophy is ahistorical; it does not concern itself with the specific socio-cultiiral and historical context within which philosophy takes place.
		Continental philosophy addresses the specific constraints and possibilities that such a contextual existence offers.
		The analytic tradition focuses on rigorous linguistic analysis of the logical form of arguments in order to address primarily, epistemological concerns in the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and ethical theory.

	The Philosophical Gourmet Report 2004 - 2006 :: Analytic and Continental Philosophy
		Continental philosophy is distinguished by its style (more literary, less analytical, sometimes just obscure), its concerns (more interested in actual political and cultural issues and, loosely speaking, the human situation and its "meaning"), and some of its substantive commitments (more self-conscious about the relation of philosophy to its historical situation).
		Whatever the limitations of "analytic" philosophy, it is clearly far preferable to what has befallen humanistic fields like English, which have largely collapsed as serious disciplines while becoming the repository for all the world's bad philosophy, bad social science, and bad history.
		"Continental" philosophy, by contrast, demarcates a group of French and German philosophers of the 19th and 20th centuries.

		Analytic philosophers, crudely speaking, aim for argumentative clarity and precision; draw freely on the tools of logic; and often identify, professionally and intellectually, more closely with the sciences and mathematics, than with the humanities.
		Indeed, it is fair to say that analytic philosophy is the philosophical movement most continuous with the "grand" tradition in philosophy, the tradition of Aristotle and Descartes and Hume and Kant.

	Philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is strikingly similar to themes considered by "Continental" writers such as Heidegger, who argued that the "scandal of philosophy" is not that the proof of the existence of an external world has yet to be given, "but that such proofs are expected and attempted again and again".
		The "ordinary language philosophy" thinkers shared a common outlook with many older philosophers (Jeremy Bentham, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and John Stuart Mill), and it was the philosophical inquiry that characterized English-language philosophy for the second half of the twentieth century.
		The philosophy of this period is characterized by analysis of the nature and properties of God; the metaphysics involving substance, essences and accidents (that is, qualities that are respectively essential to substances possessing them or merely happening to be possessed by them), form, and divisibility; and logic and the philosophy of language.

	Leiter Reports: A Group Blog (Jan. 23-May 31 2006): Analytic and Continental
		If analytic philosophy prohibits imagery except for rare special effect, and precludes letting the full import of a term (such as, perhaps, 'spontaneity') emerge gradually in the course of using it, as opposed to setting down a definition at the start, I do not care if I am not an analytic philosopher.
		I am puzzled by Neil's proposal that, "Analytic Philosophy sets itself puzzles which are (in principle) solvable; it has a great deal of agreement over methodology and approach, and it is divided into sub (and sub-sub) disciplines.
		While an analytic philosopher might give certain arguments for relativism about truth, or the social dimension of rationality, she will do so in such a way as to make vivid her commitment to an inter-subjective standard of rationality or truth according to which her arguments can be judged.

	Jim Stieb: Reflections on the Analytic/Continental Divide
		Continental philosophy no longer provides a united front against Anglo American philosophy, or as Follesdal puts it, "Analytic philosophy has dominated in the English-speaking world for the last sixty years and is now encroaching upon the continent" (193).
		The continental strategy works best to point out the tacit assumptions of analytic philosophy, particularly in regard to language and the supposed hegemony and independence of certain discourses through a strong notion of the relation between power and knowledge.
		(I continue to count myself both an analytic and a continental philosopher--if that's possible.) But contrast it with the (clearly) continental philosophy of Martin Heidegger.

	The Strange Death of Ordinary Language Philosophy
		Accounts of attempted bridge-building between OLP and the continental tradition, such as the famous conference on analytic philosophy at Royaumont, France, in 1958, show the deep nature of the rift and the ridiculously donnish opprobrium many Oxford philosophers were liable to apply to contemporary continental thought.
		Philosophy supplies "remarks on the natural history of human beings" (Wittgenstein 1953: §415); on a set of features that is found in every culture and every human form of life, and is not "limited by the form of life in which it occurs," as Gellner would have us believe.
		OLP was identified mainly with British analytic philosophers of the last mid-century and more specifically those at the University of Oxford.

	CONTEMPORARY WESTERN PHILOSOPHY
		Contemporary philosophy in the Western world is often described as split between two major competing styles of or approaches to philosophising: the so-called 'Analytic' and the so-called 'Continental.' I would add to this a third, the 'Pragmatist,' which many view as the only approach indigenous to the USA.

	Continental philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Continental philosophy includes phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, structuralism, post-structuralism and post-modernism, deconstruction, French feminism, critical theory such as that of the Frankfurt School, psychoanalysis, the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Søren Kierkegaard, and most branches of Marxism and Marxist philosophy (though there also exists a self-described Analytical Marxism).
		The distinction between continental and analytic philosophy is relatively recent, probably dating from the early twentieth century.
		Continental philosophy is a general term for several related philosophical traditions that (notionally) originated in continental Europe from the nineteenth century onward, in contrast with Anglo-American analytic philosophy.

		Logic and philosophy of language were central strands of analytic philosophy from the beginning, although this dominance has diminished greatly.
		The phrase "continental philosophy", like "Greek philosophy", would denote a certain historical period or series of schools in philosophy: German idealism, Marxism, psychoanalysis qua philosophy, existentialism, phenomenology, and post-structuralism.
		Much philosophy in Germany and Italy today, most of that in Scandinavia, and a great deal scattered over the rest of the continent and in so called Latin America, is likewise analytic.

	Contemporary philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The Program consists of a Resource Faculty drawn from the departments of philosophy, history, French studies, and religious studies, all of whom have done distinguished work in the continental tradition.
		Nevertheless, the basic framework is still that of the Philosophy Department graduate program, and students in the PCP should refer to the "Guidelines for Graduate Study" (under "Graduate" on the department web-page) to familiarize themselves with the details of that framework.

		This exciting rethinking of transcendental argumentation within a pragmatist, naturalistic framework, by a philosopher familiar with both analytic and Continental philosophy, makes a significant contribution to the development of the American philosophical tradition.
		One of his principal points is that the dispute over the status of transcendental philosophy and its relation to naturalism should not be restricted to metaphysics and epistemology.
		Divided into two main parts, Pihlström's task is, first, to provide a pragmatist and naturalized reconstruction of what transcendental philosophy is and, second, to apply transcendental arguments to epistemology, philosophy of science, and ethics.

		Analytic philosophers, crudely speaking, aim for argumentative clarity and precision; draw freely on the tools of logic; and often identify, professionally and intellectually, more closely with the sciences and mathematics, than with the humanities.
		Indeed, what distinguishes analytic philosophy even more than "style" is its adoption of the research paradigm common in the natural sciences, a paradigm in which numerous individual researchers make small contributions to the solution of a set of generally recognized problems.
		Analytic philosophers do often miss the forest for the trees, and they often let dialectical ingenuity trump good sense (and sometimes science!) in terms of the views they will defend.
