Continental philosophy eschews formal logic and focuses more on literature and the arts as the source of philosophical truth. Some insights from Emmanuel Kant are used to justify this ([1]). Can someone explain this stance better than [1] does?
While there has been a great deal of
sympathetic interest among analytic philosophers in the idea that philosophy should be
continuous in method and subject-matter with the natural sciences -- what is commonly
referred to as "positivism" -- Continental philosophy has generally dismissed such ideas as no
more than a reversion to a pre-Kantian conception of the philosophical enterprise.
