 Europe
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).

 ESAP European Society for the Analytic Philosophy
However convenient the opposition between 'Analytic' and 'Continental' philosophy may be, it is inadequate, for there are analytic philosophers on the Continent, and the values and aspirations of analytic philosophy are (meant to be) universal.
Analytic philosophy is characterized above all by the goal of clarity, the insistence on explicit argumentation in philosophy, and the demand that any view expressed be exposed to the rigours of critical evaluation and discussion by peers.
Kevin Mulligan is the founder of ESAP together with a group of philosophers (among whom Barry Smith, Peter Simons, Pierre Jacob, Marco Santambroggio, Andreas Kemmerling, and Pascal Engel) in the Swiss village of Zinall in 1991.

Please note that this is as true in the West and elsewhere as it is in Africa." (Wiredu, in Wright, 157) Thus folk philosophy is not philosophy in the academic sense.
According to this school, African philosophy is the philosophy done by African philosophers whether it be in the area of logic, metaphysics, ethics, or history of philosophy.
So to say that "African philosophy is the philosophy done by African philosophers whether it be in the area of logic, metaphysics, ethics, or history of philosophy" is at the very least a departure from common practice.

 Amazon.ca: Books: Schelling and Modern European Philosophy: An Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Schelling and Modern European Philosophy surveys the whole of Schelling's philosophical career and reconstructs his key arguments, drawing from highly complex, often inaccessible and untranslated texts.
Bowie notes similarities between debates within german idealism and analytic philosophy and pragmatism, and points out that the resurgence of pragmatism and pragmatics in the philosophy of language raises issues addressed earlier (though in a different vocabulary) by Schelling.
All in all, I recommend this book highly to anyone interested in the history of philosophy, german idealism and the traditions which grew out of german idealism, pragmatism, and questions of interdisciplinarity and the arts in relation to philosophy.

 CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
So-called 'Continental' philosophy is in many ways an unsatisfactory term for philosophical research, oriented especially towards the arts and social sciences, carried out on the European continent.
The roots of contemporary Continental philosophy are most often traced to post-Kantian developments that occurred in Germany (German Idealism, etc.) in the nineteenth century.
Given that much Continental philosophy is done outside of traditional departments of philosophy, I have also listed programmes in Critical Theory, etc. with a decidedly Continental orientation.

 Continental Drift? Modern European Philosophy in Britain Today   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
After a period of growth during the 1990s, modern European philosophy in Britain has reached a watershed in its institutional development.
Most discussion of the post-Kantian European or 'continental' tradition has focused upon either its relations to analytical and post-analytical work, or the scholarly issues involved in appropriating particular thinkers into the context of the English-speaking philosophical community.
In contrast, this conference invites the most prominent figures working within the tradition polemically to address the philosophical project with which they are associated, in order to produce a collective snapshot of the field, as a field of philosophical practices.
