Continentals: people concerned about genuine matters, real world issues, problems concerning humanity, whose works focus on uplifting humanity and creating real change in the world.
Analytics: people concerned about hypothetical matters, non-issues, problems concerning highly obscure mathematical nonsense, whose works are generally indifferent of and inconsequential to mankind.
Analytic philosophers attack continentals all the time precisely because they are more interested in creating an academic safe space for themselves where all philosophical discourse and world concerns revolving around the concept of power can't touch them, because they don't like to be reminded of their low, non-influential stations in life. Reductionists who convolute and degrade all philosophy into "logic" and everything that has to do with the emotions even slightly, such as all value judging, they pass over in silence and dismiss it as something not worth speaking about.
Discuss and prove me wrong, fellas.

You are just presupposing a framework of value where philosophy is supposed to be about """""real issues""""".
Analytics are just carrying on the classic philosophical quest for truth.

>Analytics: people concerned about hypothetical matters, non-issues, problems concerning highly obscure mathematical nonsense, whose works are generally indifferent of and inconsequential to mankind. I think this may have been true at one time, but it seems the concern of modern analytics overlaps with continentals, it's just that there's a different approach. >they pass over in silence It's strange to use Wittgenstein here because he was hardly an analytic like the ones you describe and not many people use that line in the TLP to mean that. For the most part, the analytics you describe rather ignore it and take the earlier descriptions of reality in the book quite literally, even though it's clear that with those final few lines he began a new era in analytic philosophy, only realised more recently, all but finishing all previous analytic though (Russell, Frege, etc.).

>You are just presupposing a framework of value where philosophy is supposed to be about """""real issues""""". What you just pointed out is a real issue (i.e. a common and influential one) and one Continentals would address, and have addressed. Analytics wouldn't address it, they don't address it. They dismiss it like you just did because only them and them alone are "just carrying on the classic philosophical quest for truth."

I don't think OP is literate enough to have done that on purpose

The Wittgenstein reference was intentional. Regardless of how he is taken now, his Logico-Philosophicus played a big role in developing the Vienna Circle where a lot of this pandering to logic nonsense stemmed from.
