Analysis / Considering Continent Segment My friends in the English department let me explain the differences that often talks between analysis and continental philosophy. For some strange reason, they want to link our academic disciplines to their academic disciplines. So I will welcome the opportunity to provide a very general and strict speech on philosophy to the whole university community by this year's general theme of Sculkier.

Several philosophers like Richard Rorty and Simon Glenn believe that this "analysis and continent" split is bad for the academic field as a whole. Other people like John Searle claim that the continental philosophy, especially the post-structuralistic continental philosophy, should be removed for reasons that it is ambiguous and ambiguous. Analysis and continental philosophy share a common Western philosophical tradition with Emmanuel Kant. Later on, analytic philosophers and mainland philosophers differed in the importance and influence of later philosophers against their respective traditions. For example, the German idealist school developed in Kant's work in the 1880s and 1790s, and finally became highly appreciated Georg William Friedrich Hegel of many mainland philosophers. On the contrary, Hegel is regarded as a relatively small person who analyzes the work of philosophers.

First, we will briefly introduce the difference of continental analysis. The analytical tradition is widely believed to have started with the division between Moore and Russell's idealism of getting rid of British education before 1900. This deviation from Kant and Hegel's lineage was replaced by linguistic and leverage concerns. Logic is a philosophical tool. However, the tradition of analysis is certainly not a homogeneous work body. As part of the analysis tradition, many revolution occurred in the 20th century. One of the revolution was the logical positivism that influenced the 1930s (one of Norris' major concerns in his thesis) and the other was a normal language movement that began in the prewar period. There are many internal differences in the analysis tradition, but they reject commons and methods shared by the majority of Kant and Hegel's traditions.
