This Sunday:
The Continental vs. Analytic Philosophy divide

Description:
This week, we invite you to explore the split between Continental and Analytic philosophy—two major paradigms that differ significantly in their methodological approaches.
Analytic philosophy, which dominates in the English-speaking world, emphasizes clarity, logical reasoning, and linguistic analysis. It tends to focus on issues such as meaning, reference, and the structure of arguments.
Continental philosophy, more prevalent in Europe, is often historical and speculative. It engages with broad existential, social, and metaphysical questions, drawing on thinkers like Hegel, Heidegger, and Marx. The two traditions frequently differ in style, focus, and underlying intellectual assumptions.
We hope you'll join Plato’s Cave and the Orlando Stoics for this thought-provoking discussion.
