NOTE

Is There a Difference Between Analytical and Condental Philosophy?

Modern philosophy is divided into analytic and continental schools./nContinental philosophy focuses on how we live our lives, while analytic philosophy focuses on proving theorems and logic./nModern continental philosophy is skeptical of authenticity and acknowledges the presence of inauthenticity./nExistentialists believe that orienting our lives authentically can lead to a richer and more fulfilling life./nAuthenticity is a personal assessment, and others cannot judge whether someone is being authentic or not./nContinental philosophy, especially existentialism, is more interested in real-world experiences and practical solutions./nExistentialism emerged as a reaction to abstract and remote philosophical systems./nExistential philosophers analyze everyday experiences and relationships philosophically./nExistential philosophers, such as Simone de Beauvoir, use novels, memoirs, and other forms of literature to explore different situations and ways of being.
