Continental Philosophy: What is it, and why is it a thing?

Dr. Ellie Anderson (co-host, Overthink podcast) explains the historical origins of the continental/analytic divide in philosophy in the middle of the twentieth century, and why we need to mobilize the term “continental philosophy“ in order to overcome the sway Analytic philosophy has over contemporary anglo-American universities--and ultimately, overcome the divid altogether. For more on this, see Dr. Anderson’s appearance on the Unmute podcast (episode 54), “The Divide in Philosophy,“ as well as a forthcoming publication :) Edited by Jeffrey Murray Selection of works discussed in the video: Gary Gutting, “Bridging the Analytic-Continental Divide“ Simon Critchley, Continental Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction John McCumber, Time in the Ditch Simon Glendinning, The Idea of Continental Philosophy Judith Butler, Gender Trouble
