Postanalytic philosophy

The term post- analytic philosophy called currents of contemporary philosophy, the dissolve of basic assumptions of the classical analytic philosophy, but are still influenced by classical analytical literature, methodology and corresponding classic canon.

Background

The detachment often grounded in a dissatisfaction with naturalism and the suppression of adherence to culture and historicity of language and thought. This yields some philosophers turn to the pragmatism and continental European alternative theoretical traditions, such idealistic, hermeneutic and poststructuralist philosophy. Often the focus of philosophical shift away from this logic, natural philosophy and philosophy of mind on questions of politics, ethics, literature, art and religion, partly under aftermath of the Cultural Sciences. Nevertheless, there is broad continuity with the clear argumentative style classic analytical philosophy. For this reason alone, the designation of certain philosophers as "post- analytic " controversial. Many speak instead of simply a further development of analytic philosophy.
