It is able and very good at that, and way better then what continental philosophers have produced.
A few examples:
Colin McGinn for Literature: Ethics, Evil, and Fiction, David Benatar for "Existentialism": The Human Predicament, Peter Singer for Politics: The Darwinian Left.
- Schiphol 4y agoAnalytic philosophers (I am one of them) have produced excellent work that engages deeply with the phenomenological tradition. Dan Zahavi or Tony Chemero come to mind. But "continental" philosophers (Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Heidegger) have produced extremely deep, much more influential work. That's because they are the phenomenological tradition.
