Contemporary philosophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search


The term contemporary philosopher refers not just to figures who are alive, but also those who died within the past three decades, irrespective of when their major philosophy works were written or when their work was most popular. Similarly, "contemporary philosophical movements" may refer to philosophies that have actually been under discussion for several decades.

Contemporary philosophy is sometimes divided into analytic philosophy and continental philosophy. There are of course undeniable differences within and between different countries. The editors of this article have chosen to identify the two dominant styles in contemporary philosophy as "analytical philosophy" and "phenomenological/structuralist/post-structuralist philosophy".
