Both Continental and analytic philosophy are, to a great extent, sectarian self-
descriptions that are the consequence of the professionalization of the discipline,
a process that has led to the weakening of philosophy's critical function and its
emancipatory intent, and to its progressive marginalization in the life of culture.”

philosophy is that raised by Bernard Williams, when he claims that the distinction
rests upon a confusion of geographical and
methodological terms, as if one were to classify cars into front-wheel drive and
Japanese. [...] Thus, for Williams, the distinction
between analytic and Continental philosophy rests upon a confused comparison
of methodological and geographical categories.”

geographical category, then other problems arise. There are philosophers from
the Continent, such as Frege and Carnap, who are not adjudged Continental,
and philosophers from outside the Continent who are. Also, geographically,
matters can become nicely confused, as when Dummett rightly claims that the
term 'Anglo-American( (another toponym of no more obvious felicity than
'Continental() has done more harm than good because it elides the
Germanophone origins of analytical philosophy. Dummett rather mischievously
but accurately suggests in its place the term 'Anglo-Austrian'.”

invention, or, more accurately, a projection of the Anglo-American academy onto
a Continental Europe that would not recognize the legitimacy of such an
appellation - a little like asking for a Continental breakfast in Paris.
[...]
there
is no consensus on the precise origin of the concept of Continental philosophy
as a professional self-description, it does not arise as a description of
undergraduate and postgraduate courses in philosophy before the 1970s. It is
clear that this happened in the USA before Britain, where the first postgraduate
courses in Continental philosophy were offered at the universities of Essex and
Warwick in the early 1980s. In the American context, and to a lesser extent in
Britain, the term 'Continental philosophy' replaced the earlier formulations
'Phenomenology' or 'Phenomenology' and Existential Philosophy'.”
