Continental Philosophy: What is it, and why is it a thing?

Dr. Ellie Anderson (co-host, Overthink podcast) explains the historical origins of the continental/analytic divide in philosophy in the middle of the twentieth century, and why we need to mobilize the term "continental philosophy" in order to overcome the sway Analytic philosophy has over contemporary anglo-American universities--and ultimately, overcome the divid altogether.
