The Institutionalization of Analytical Philosophy

An assessment of the professionalization of analytic philosophy and the resulting cultural exclusion mechanisms within academia.

The rise of analytic philosophy in the 20th century standardized academic discourse. This study uses the LHS Knowledge Corpus to map how the institutional requirement for 'rigor' evolved into a form of identity-defense against Continental schools of thought, characterized by selective blindness to 'othered' conceptual models.
