>tfw you study philosophy in uni but figure out you were only

Hmmm....Richard Rorty?

Also, maybe A.N. Whitehead

Why the fuck do you asume you can only take a pragmatic approach to philosophy while being of the "analytic tradition"?

That's what the *ideology* they tried to impose and apparently you ate all their crap

it's not that dicotomic really, and that continental v/s analytic "debate" is more of a meme than a serious thing in the academia nowadays

that's the*

i mean idk if i got it right but you made it sound like not being of the analytic tradition = being only interested in the history of philosophy

non-philosophers keep on repeating this line and i can tell you that it is absolutely not true. continetal philosophy has been reduced to a handful of schools around the us and the interplay between analytic and continental philosophy is almost none if it does not happen within a certain university. there are *some* philosophers who transcend the boundary but the spirit of the vienna school ("they're not doing real philosophy") is alive and well. i can say that most academic philosophers read "across the border" but don't participate in the opposite brand of philosophy at all. this isn't "academic" per se but just check out the Philosophy Talk podcast on Derrida for a good summation of what it's like: two Harvard analtyic philosophers conceding a few superficial points before trashing the whole project as muddle-headed and pointless. They even say "Derrida would have been a much better philosopher had he just read Frege and Russell." the divide is real.

The divide is real and makes sense.
Continental "philosophy" is just bad literature.
