On: Analytic versus Continental Philosophy (2009)

It is interesting that the split does seem irrelevant these days.

Reflecting back, it seems to me like a lot of the wind spilled from continental sails after Derrida died with no clear intellectual inheritor.

Anyway, this is an interesting insight, thanks.

Recovering former philosopher (well, grad student) here, can one of you say more about why "the split does seem irrelevant these days"?

[Schiphol → thomasjudge]

While there is much more cross-talk these days, and relying on the A-C distinction is (at least in the analytic camp) frowned upon, rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated.
