I never stated otherwise. What we both wrote is in no way contradictory.
- MichaelGG 12y agoThat's not fair. Daniel Dennett and Thomas Metzinger have said interesting things.
- lambdaphage 12y agoAre you suggesting that Dennett is a continental philosopher?
- MichaelGG 12y agoSorry I skipped over that critical modifier. I agree with the GP then.
- conatus 12y agoBoth are analytic philosophers.
- quonn 12y agoContinental philosophy is not just postmodernism, which I don't like either. It's also 20th+ century german philosophy which is generally fairly straightforward and also french philosophy until the 60's. And while this kind of philosophy is certainly different from the formal one common in the UK (or maybe US) I would also argue that it is more interesting.
