In this session we will an introduction to Analytic and continental philosophy. Ali Paknezhad will cover the overview on analytic philosophy which has been cornerstone of philosophy of science and language and Shahdad Heydari will cover continental philosophy.
Continental philosophy is a contested concept which cuts to the heart
of the identity of philosophy and its relevance to the matters of
public concern and personal life. This presentation attempts to answer
the question"What is Continental philosophy" By telling a story that
begins with Kant 200 years ago and includes discussions of major
philosophers like Nietzsche, Husserl and Heidegger and many more. The
goal of this presentation is to show why continental philosophy is an
area of dispute by considering the history and meaning of this term,
and the way it is differentiated from, and represented by, what it
allegedly opposes-namely Analytic or Anglo-American philosophy.
