Continental or analytic philosophy? If you prefer analytic philosophy

Wrong board, and I don't read any philosophy published after the fall of Rome.

Fuck off undergrad.

Analytic.

I an studying math but that doesn't mean there isn't much to learn from modern analytic philosophers, especially when it comes to issues in mathematical philosophy and foundations (e.g. logical pluralism). I highly encourage pure mathematics students at all levels to get some exposure to analytic philosophy. There are some very interesting ideas there.

I'm also asking why people would choose to study analytic philosophy over mathematics; this is the best board for the topics on offer.

>Fuck off undergrad.
Why so defensive? Who are you quoting? I didn't say that.

I study linguistics, so analytic philosophy is the way to go for me. The contributions of philosophy of language and mind to linguistics (and cognitive science more generally) are immeasurable.

You'll never be great.

elaborate with a few anecdotes

I don't know if I have any anecdotes but I can drop the names of a few important analytic philosophers who influenced linguistics. Obviously Grice is seminal for pragmatics, and the neo-gricean view of phenomena such as scalar implicature is still very standard. Richard Montague is another seminal philosopher, being one of the first to truly seek to formalize English. His work also greatly helped draw attention to other formal theories of semantics, most notably categorial grammar. Strawson's views of presupposition are for the most part standard, although Russellian views still persist. Otherwise, to name a few more, David Lewis and Donald Davidson were essential in developing truth-conditional semantics.
