Another approach to approximating a definition of continental philosophy is by listing some of the philosophical movements that are or have been central in continental philosophy: German idealism, phenomenology, existentialism (and its antecedents, such as the thought of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche), hermeneutics, structuralism, post-structuralism, French feminism, and the critical theory of the Frankfurt School and some other branches of Western Marxism.[32] The Philosophical Gourmet Report's description of "Analytic" and "Continental" philosophy ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8352.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8352.txt
