"My credentials. I was a philosophy major at the University of Chicago, which is an Analytic program, where I tried to pursue Continental philosophy, and I have a master's from The New School, which is a Continental program, where I tried to pursue Analytic philosophy."

Analytics are wrestling with problems posed by Contintentals like postmodernism, resulting in new and productive avenues of research (particularly in social epistemology).
