> Derrida is one of the most important continental philosophers of the 20th century.

I never stated otherwise. What we both wrote is in no way contradictory.

Continental philosophy is not just postmodernism, which I don't like either. It's also 20th+ century german philosophy which is generally fairly straightforward and also french philosophy until the 60's. And while this kind of philosophy is certainly different from the formal one common in the UK (or maybe US) I would also argue that it is more interesting.

That's not fair. Daniel Dennett and Thomas Metzinger have said interesting things.

[lambdaphage]

Are you suggesting that Dennett is a continental philosopher?

[MichaelGG]

Sorry I skipped over that critical modifier. I agree with the GP then.

[conatus]

Both are analytic philosophers.
