	Continental philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Continental philosophy is a term used in Anglophone philosophy to designate one of two major "traditions" of modern Western philosophy.
		It is so named to distinguish it from Anglo-American or analytic philosophy, because, at the time the distinction was first noted (in the mid-twentieth century), continental philosophy was the dominant style of philosophy in continental Europe, while analytical philosophy was the predominant style in the English-speaking world.
		One common theme of continental philosophy might be a certain kind of what analytic philosophy might name "anti-transcendent skepticism," which holds that thought cannot be abstracted away from some natural or material preconditions, and also that the philosopher must struggle with this impossibility.

	Continental Feminism
		Continental feminists ground their explorations of sex, gender, and the inequalities related to both in the European philosophical traditions that emerged after Kant and throughout the twentieth century, particularly phenomenology, existentialism, deconstructionism, and psychoanalytic theory.
		Continental feminist thinkers are strongly interested in the ontology of the self, the structure of society, and the connections and disruptions between the two.
		A persistent move within continental feminism is the discussion of the depth of male bias within the field of philosophy (and within the subfield of continental philosophy).

	Analytic philosophy, by Roger Jones
		By the 1970's there was a growing dissatisfaction with linguistic philosophy, and philosophers began to show more interest in the philosophy of mind and the application of philosophical methods to wider issues in politics, ethics and the nature of philosophy itself.
		The role of philosophy was no longer to outline the self-awareness of Geist; rather it was seen as a handmaiden to science, content simply to clarify concepts.
		Philosophy since Descartes began from the assumption that the most secure knowledge is based on our private experience, indeed Descartes distinction between the mental and the material rests on this assumption.

	Continental philosophy
		Continental philosophy is a general term for several related philosophical traditions that (notionally) originated in continental Europe, in contrast with Anglo-American analytic philosophy.
		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 work of Friedrich Nietzsche, and most branches of Marxism and Marxist philosophy (though there also exists a self-described analytic Marxism).
		What came to be called "continental philosophy" is largely descended from the tradition of these thinkers, as well as earlier thinkers like Kant who are also important to analytic philosophy.

	The Philosophical Gourmet Report 2004 - 2006 :: Analytic and Continental Philosophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		"Continental" philosophy, by contrast, demarcates a group of French and German philosophers of the 19th and 20th centuries.
		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).
		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.

		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".
		Apparently his sister is a scholar who studies Continental Philosophy.) An other article, by the same author, was printed in the Los Angeles Times in 1991.
		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).

	Leiter Reports: A Group Blog: Analytic and Continental
		In contrast, perhaps continental philosophers (as Marcus suggested to me last night) intend the literary style in which they make their arguments to underscore their view that there is only a spurious distinction between allegedly epistemically pure, truth-tracking disciplines, on the one hand, and literature, on the other.
		I've always been fond of the thought that philosophy was comprised of different traditions, where these are identified both by descendant relations (in terms of whose problems and statements of those problems take seriously) and by relations to one's contemporaries (which of one's contemporaries one reads, writes about, takes seriously).
		Ultimately philosophy is an open game, that is assuming you are truly commited to seeing something general in the vague sets being identified, you have to admit that no single paper by an individual author could capture the thought of one philosopher let alone whole groups.

		One aim of this course is to introduce students to some of the central movements that are referred to under the rubric "Continental philosophy" - phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, critical theory, deconstruction, and so on.
		At the same time, these movements are not linked by a linear narrative of "progress" from one to the other, but co-exist in complex strands of dialogue, conversation, and mutual criticism.
		In so doing, questions of metaphysics, theory of knowledge, ethics, political theory, philosophy of language, and philosophy of religion will be at stake.

		critical theory, deconstruction, feminism, genealogy, hermeneutics, and phenomenology), Continental philosophy at Oregon remains in conversation with other philosophical traditions.
		For example, present concerns include the relation of antiquity to thinkers such as Hegel, Schelling, and Heidegger, dialogue between Anglo-American and Continental feminist discourses, conversations between Marxism and deconstruction on the one hand and pragmatism on the other, and Levinas’s relation to earlier generations of Jewish thought.
		Amidst such dialogues, which are the hallmark of our department, the close reading of texts and figures is also esteemed, particularly with regard to Hegel, Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche, and Schelling in the 19th Century, and Adorno, Beauvoir, Derrida, Foucault, Heidegger, and Levinas in the 20th.
