why analytic philosophy stay dominant while continental philosophy don't? - a discussion about contemporary philosophy

[the grey cat]

by analytic philosophy i mean the mid-20th century analytic philosophy or to be better known as post-classical analytic philosophy. it is still dominant in anglosphere academia to this very day but why is that?

for those who don't know what continental and analytic philosophy are:

Can we really even call modern philosophy by that name? Is it really about the love of wisdom, or is it about grifting universities by publishing papers so obscurantist and devoid of meaning or value that no one can even follow it long enough to realize it's bullshit?

 

[A Very Big Fish]

All I know if there are two schools of philosophy. The people who just tell us what we already knew, and the people hell bent on pushing the dumbest shit possible.

to be serious here (i know it's a shitpost, shut up), kant is the guy who, i think, successfully synthesized empiricism with rationalism. while marx thought his ideas were good at his time because of the worker exploitation, shitty treatments, and all of that stuff.

pretty hilarious video though.

Neither are fundamentally dominant. They're germanic deviations from right proper thought. Brains without a systems of tenses fundamentally cannot think, though, so to this ends, neither are relevant systems of thought. Hoo hoo -- do you think like englishmen or germans? I'd prefer not to think like retards who don't understand what "perfect" means, and so I don't know any of them.

But continental philosophy is still dominant? Frankfurt School and her offshoots ain't going anywhere anytime soon...

 

[Hypercop]

Hasn't anglo philosophy always been sorta analytic-brained, if we're honest?

Bc logic is kind of important. Continental philosophy is still actually really dominant because of one word; Phenomenology

Never saw this before. Made my day. Thank you.

Continental philosophy is fucking retarded

Continental philosophy is fucking retarded

how? you damn dirty analytic.

 

[XL xQgg?QcQCaTYDMjqoDnYpG]

how? you damn dirty analytic.

Continental philosophy abandons clarity, reality, and logic in favor of vague word games, mystical abstractions, and linguistic self-indulgence
Continental thinkers deny that reality is knowable or even exists independently of language or interpretation, that by itself makes knowledge impossible (i.e. on such metaphysics, there is no epistemology)
And much of continental philosophy lays the groundwork for collectivism, historicism, and social engineering. Think Marxism, critical theory, and the postmodern attack on reason
So, by being intellectually hostile to reality, logic, and clarity, I can say with absolute certainty that "continental philosophy" is fucking retarded and should be renamed to "sophistry" or "shitposting"

The average academic is the type of person who masturbates in front of a mirror because their own image is their biggest turn on

If you ask people "what is philosophy?" they're going to reference some form of continental thought.
Analytical philosophy can barely detach itself from higher mathematics. That's why the anglo invented "Analytical philosophy" - they knew they couldn't compete with the French or the Germans in either maths or philosophy and thus they invented this half and half in which they are the world champion. With no competition, this makes winning all the easier - although far less meaningful.

So much for "dominance".

In other words: kys
