You're right. >>10166092 just proved hisself to not only be a brainlet but a brainlet so brainless that he didn't even know it

If you listen closely to the pidder-patter of the rain
you might just hear it but it's faint
Each drop collapses before it's shattered
as a child's dream that will never come to matter

First of all I'd like to ask: where do you think the distinction between analytics and continentals begin? I've so far encountered 3 ways of people approaching the problem:

>1. Traditional distinction that states that clear divergence occurs in the beginning of 20th century with emergence of phenomenology in Germany, appropriation of psychology into philosophy, formation of Frankfurt school and Heidegger on one hand for continentals and on the other hand for analytics formation of Vienna Circle and Frege-Russell-Wittgenstein trio collective works.

>2. Distinction championed by many analytics that believe the split origins in 19th century Germany with mid to late German Idealism, Hegel and Nietzsche which they more often than not, despise.

>3. Third distinction I've seen people making is the rarest one. It is kind of a perennial philosophy asserting that analytic versus continental dichotomy is just a modern manifestation of long struggle between Aristotelian and Platonist currents represented before in rationalism and empiricism.

Also with which school would you associate more closely Kierkegaard? On one hand he's a Christian existentialist, but on the other his use of logic and critique of Hegel shows some kind of analytic strain.
