- 1. Continental philosophy is a diverse and rich tradition in Western philosophy that emerged primarily in continental Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is characterized by an emphasis on human experience, subjectivity, and the interconnectedness of culture, history, and society. Continental philosophers often engage with complex and abstract concepts, such as existentialism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and critical theory. They explore the nature of existence, meaning, freedom, power, and ethics in ways that challenge traditional philosophical frameworks. Continental philosophy is known for its interdisciplinary approach, drawing on literature, art, psychology, and political theory to deepen our understanding of the human condition and the world we inhabit.
