The analytic/continental divide
Reply to Jim Stone
Most of my heroes are analytic philosophers such as Robert Brandom, Christine Korsgaard, Terry Pinkard,parfit and others, yet Iam a fan of a few continentals such as kant and Habermas.I find analytic philosophy more lively and vibrant.It is now reaching out to experiment with new ideas and new sources from other traditions. For example the doors are wide open for Hegel in the analytic quarters. Robert Brandom is producing a major work on the phenomenology of spirit .Terry Pinkard has completed a translation of the phenomenology of spirit.Soon metaphysics will follow.
It is not all dance in the moonlight.I sometimes find analytic philosophers unedifying to borrow one of Rorty's terms.They become over technical  and their arguments become tangled and unnecessarily abstract and boring.
