Abstract

The current philosophical debate faithfully records the changes of contemporary society and expresses his fragmentation, specialization, and difficulty in communication that sometimes seem to reach the incommunicability. In such a situation,  theoretical and historiographical categorizations can respond to the need to "tidy up" in a debate, relaunching it and making visible differences and similarities between the various positions in the field, and so opening up new theoretical possibilities through discussion and dialogue.

The distinction between analytics and continentals represents a crucial historiographical and theoretical reference point, in order to comprehend and take part in a complex debate characterized by sophisticated forms of contamination between the philosophical traditions.

Fifteen years after the publication of the book by Franca D'Agostini, Analitici e Continentali, which proposed an inventory of this fundamental comparison, the "Bolletino Filosofico" intends to rethink the issue, in the light of the different philosophical sensibility of the scholars coming from Europe, America and other regions. Hence the idea to devote this issue of the journal to "analytics and continentals", in order to offer a critical overview and an analysis of the current topics in philosophy and the related genealogies.
