I completed my Philosophy degree in London in 1981; the professors strongly favoured the analytic tradition. My papers were on Nietsche and Wittgenstein; I got poor marks. There was some teaching of existentialism (but not Nietche); but no deconstructionists or postmodernists. They wouldn't reach English universities for a few years.

Wow yes indeed! That is surely a vastly different world than the one I am referring to 3 decades on, but either way I bet it was a very good time and place to be doing philosophy!

One thing that cuts through both the divide and the passed time here: it is still quite tough to write on Nietzsche outside of an intro class and get a good grade!
