Isn't the entire continental tradition predicated on this idea?

Eh, not really. Certainly a lot of analytic philosophers seem to promote this idea, as to create a consistent Other of non-analytic philosophy that is supposed to be hegelian claptrap. But to think of "continental" philosophy as a single self-understood tradition doesn't really work, there are various schools and certainly not all of them think the history of philosophy should be relevant to the doing of philosophy.
