Analytical vs. Continental Philosophy: Bridging the Gap

Pages 897-900 | Published online: 08 Nov 2010
 

Notes

1. This requires some clarification. The latest figure that both Continental and Analytic philosophers are today expected to know and appreciate is Kant. In the actual history of the development of the traditions, there was much more contact and understanding than there is today. Husserl and Frege, for example, responded to one another.

2. In Donald Davidson, Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation (London: Oxford University Press, 1984), 183-98.

3. See, for instance, Nelson Goodman, whose “versions,” which Braver acutely notes are very like Nietzsche's “perspectives,” are precise structures of definitions and rules that apparently require something other than actual occurrences of tokens. The stability of these versions would seem to require something beyond mere regularities of usage, although this has never been demonstrated. The independence of realism about the physical world and acceptance of transcendental signifieds is illustrated by writers who favor a causal account of reference rather than a concept-fitting account.

4. Jacques Derrida, Speech and Phenomena (Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press, 1973). See also his other early works on Husserl.

5. As I note below, this is unavoidable. What I am suggesting is that these remarks should occur after the explanation of Derrida's grounds for rejecting logoi, so that the reason the remarks are “under erasure” is clear.
