"Philosophy: the Great Divide (Continental / Analytic)." THE PHILOSOPHER'S ZONE (AUSTALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION) July 4, 2009.

This week, we examine a division in the philosophical world, between what's called analytic philosophy, as practised in the English-speaking world and the Nordic nations, and continental philosophy. If you're an analytical philosopher, all that French and German stuff looks vague, verbose and romantic. If you're sitting Paris, the analytical stuff is likely to seem abstract, dry and quite unconnected with human realities. Professor Paul Patton straddles the divide and this week he tells us whether he thinks it's real. Listen here: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/philosopherszone/stories/2009/2607224.htm.
