i mean yeah a thoughtful if somewhat confusing exploration of postcolonialism vs.... perhaps every person is TWO objects instead of one?! does make analytic look kinda silly.
i thought abt putting two papers where theyre talking abt the same subject (like gender or something) and i feel like analytic might fare a bit better there just bc it's more comprehensible. But the general tendency is for analytic to tackle small distinctions with sometimes absurd results (following strictly from Formal Logic) while continentals talk about Big Questions like being human and rights in a broader context and stuff you cant necessarily apply Formal Logic to so i wanted to show that.
#also i think spivak is. really good. and a lot of continentals arent nearly as good.#whereas i wouldnt consider rea a Standout#so i did think the examples were tilted in continental favor. to overcome my own analytic bias.#replies#philosophy posting#tep.txt
