Relazione
"In recent times there has been a plethora of writing on the analytic-continental 'divide', whether with a view to building bridges, calling forth a plague upon both houses, or transcending this sectarian seen towards a post-analytic and meta-continental horizon. Another trajectory, albeit one that should also accompany any of the above strategies, is one that would seek to problematize and critique the very idea of analytic or continental philosophy, and hence any putative contrast between philosophical types - a sort of sceptical project that attempts to cause us to rethink these clichés and stereotypes. Andreas Vrahimis' Encounters Between Analytic and Continental Philosophy is one of the best books in this latter genre." (Jack Reynolds, Parrhesia, Volume 20, Issue 1, 2014)
