We dig into the biggest rivalry in Tamler’s profession, analytic
vs. continental philosophy. Are analytic philosophers truly
the rigorous, precise, clear thinkers they take themselves to
be? And is continental philosophy really just a bunch
pretentious charlatans spouting French and German gibberish
and writing obscure prose to mask the incoherence of their
ideas? We look at a nice paper by Neil Levy that goes
beyond the stereotypes and tries to describe and explain the
differences between the two schools.
Plus, The University of Austin (sic) is back in the news and we
have a report from someone who attended one of their Forbidden
Courses. This should be so easy but the article has us deeply
conflicted about what to make fun of.
