Dialectic Forum

I remember first hearing about a distinction between analytical & continental philosophy as a student. Since I was a student primarily of analytic philosophy, very little was said about what, exactly, continental philosophy was. (We had to read Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger, etc. on our own ... though Kant, who I'm pretty sure lived "on the continent", was discussed daily.)
This always struck me as being similar to the so-called distinction between communism & democracy (as opposed to communism & capitalism).
Isn't the real clash between analytical & dialectical philosophy? Let's call it: analysis & dialectic.

Yes, analytic / dialectic seems to make more sense than analytical / continental - which makes none! (It's still anal, anyway. LOL)
