Dear all,
To return to a previous subject, if anyone wishes to go a bit deeper
into the history of philosophy (or intellectual history, more broadly)
on this issue of the continental and analytic divide, I would also
recommend Michael Friedman's book "A Parting of the Ways: Carnap,
Cassirer, and Heidegger" where it is
traced in relation to the lives and works of prominent members of the
various and feuding schools of late 19th and early 20th century German
neo-Kantianism, who went on to found, or play a major role in, logical
positivism, existential phenomenology, modern hermeneutics, etc.,
which all share this common root. (As one would expect, these
developments were greatly effected by historical contingencies,
politics, patterns of immigration, and the background and
personalities of the thinkers involved.)
As a side note, I came across this work in relation to a book that I
am currently writing in the philosophy of film (focused on the
'worlds' of films as art works), in which I'm attempting to bridge this
all too apparent divide in contemporary film theory/philosophy through
drawing on 20th century aesthetics and the philosophy of art in both the
continental and analytic traditions, a good deal of which (on both
sides), it seems to me, has been overlooked, and in some cases perhaps
consciously neglected, by many film theorists and film philosophers
alike.
Best,
Daniel Yacavone
