    Am I alone in finding the very idea of “Continental Philosophy” ridiculous? What would we think of a university that appointed someone to teach Continental Chemistry? Continental Algebra? Does it tell us something about philosophy as an academic discipline?

        That's precisely his point. For starters, there's no such thing: any new philosophical discussion will inevitably feed off ideas proposed by ancient philosophers that predate the concept of modern Europe. Where would you draw the line? Why would it be philosophically relevant?

        So...you don't know what continental philosophy is? And during the Enlightenment universities in Britain were told what they could and couldn't teach.

        I, myself, practice Lincoln Continental Philosophy. My insights are born from my struggles to parallel-park my enormous car.
