Going from an analytic dep to a continental dep
KantianSister replied to tuppert's topic in Philosophy
I suppose it makes sense given the nature of this forum, but much of the discourse I see here suggests to me that philosophy has died in academia. Phrases like “continental philosophy”, “analytic philosophy”, “GPA”, “GRE”, “admissions committee”, and “writing sample” are employed in an almost mechanistic fashion, without their employers devoting even a modicum of thought to the life they are fashioning for themselves by so using them. Such a life is not a philosophical one, but rather a dogmatic and sophistic one. Worse, their employment undermines any insights to be gleaned in philosophy by placing them within the margins of the incontestable dogmatisms of “continental philosophy” and “analytic philosophy”. I can only hope that the philosophers working in academia today are not quietly framing their inquiries in such terms.
