“歐陸哲學”各流派之間嘅分歧非常之大，以至於“歐陸哲學”呢一個術語本身都冇太大嘅描述價值。美國同英國由二十世紀八十年代開始，已經有唔同嘅教授撰寫咗大量有關“歐陸哲學”嘅內容。（注：有啲講法語同德語嘅歐洲哲學家，例如戈特洛布·弗雷格同維也納學圈，對分析哲學有好重要嘅貢獻，但呢啲人一般唔會畀人當係“歐陸哲學家”。）
The divergence between the various schools of "continental philosophy" is so great that the term "continental philosophy" itself does not have much descriptive value. Since the eighties of the twentieth century, different professors in the United States and United Kingdom have written a great deal about the uranium philosophy of the European continent. (Note: Some French- and German-speaking European philosophers, such as Gottrob· Frege and the Vienna Circle, have made important contributions to analytic philosophy, but these people are generally not considered to be Philosophers of the Continent.) ）
