I'm very much encouraging real pluralism. So while I do want to end the "divide" between analytic and continental, I'm not suggesting that all philosophy be done in some homogenous way. I thought I opened the first article by emphasizing that these different "styles" and traditions each bring different gifts and resources to the conversation. What I'm suggesting needs to end is (1) the compartmentalization of these approaches into enclaves or little isolated tribes and (2) the animosity between them. So I think we're on the same page in this regard.
