Continental Grice

That's Sidonius, if you must!

From the OED:

'continental' = "of, on, or belonging to `the Continent', i.e. the mainland of Europe, as distinguished from the British Isles."

CITES:

1875 Jevons Money
"Other writers, both continental and English."

No quotes for 'continental philosophy', alas, but lots for 'continental breakfast', and 'continental Sunday'. Perhaps those who are in possession of good 'continental philosophy' quotes should cc. Mailto:oed3 at oup.co.uk

'analytical'.

CITES:

1945 Mind LIV. 194
My concern is exclusively with analytical philosophy.

1945 Mind, LIV. 194
Both the casuist and the systematist, if they are analytical philosophers, are interested in the individual clarifications that are peculiar to this kind of philosophising.

1956 J. Holloway in A. Pryce-Jones New Outl. Mod. Knowl. 30
The philosophy of analysis thus tends to have two somewhat different
branches: the analysis of a priori or analytical propositions ... as
represented by what Russell and Wittgenstein had to say about formal logic
and mathematics; and the analysis of propositions which are expressed in
words, which can occur in the ordinary layman's thinking ... On the whole,
modern analytical philosophy has developed most in this second field.

Impressions & Appraisals of Analytic Philosophy in Europe.

["One nice littl' oxymoron if ever there was one", as a continental man was
overheard as saying at a cafe. JLS]

1936 E. Nagel in Jrnl. Philos. XXXIII. 5 (title 9 )
Analytic philosophy is ethically neutral formally.

1946 Mind LV. 339,

I do not think that either Prof. Moore or most of the other adherents of
Contemporary British Analytic Philosophy are ready to draw the consequences
from this fact.

[whatever it was. Plus: "British Analytic Philosophy" -- shouldn't that be
pleonastic? JLS]

1948 Mind LVII. 292

Analytic philosophy consists at least partly, in replacing a concept, or
a set of concepts, by another concept, or set of concepts.

Was Grice anal-retentive? Just joking!
