"The Weirding of the Analytic-Continental Divide": Tzuchien Tho and Peter Wolfendale
11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK
“The Weirding of the Analytic-Continental Divide”: Tzuchien Tho and Peter Wolfendale in conversation with Anthony Morgan
These days no one seems to believe in the legitimacy of the analytic-continental divide. Just as “spaghetti and meatballs” or “chop suey” do not exist in Italy and China but only as American creations, so the very idea of “continental philosophy” only originates in the Anglophone world. But what does the emerging post-divide philosophical landscape look like?
In this event, Tzuchien Tho and Peter Wolfendale – two philosophers who are just as comfortable on either side of this putative divide – will discuss the history of the divide, the emergence of philosophers like Robert Brandom whose work translates the methodologies of “continental” thinkers to mainstream analytic terms, the rise of philosophy of science as the progressive edge of philosophical research within the Anglosphere, the future of the divide, and much more. You can find out more and register here.
