Analytic dominates in the Anglophone world. It inclines toward empiricism, formalism, and simplicity. It has little interest in metaphysics or style. Perhaps it can typified by this anecdote about Samuel Johnson from Boswell's Life of Doctor Johnson:
"After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- "I refute it thus." "

Continental philosophy dominates non-Anglo European philosophy and is much more interested in perception, the senses, and complexity. It is preoccupied with representation and style. Perhaps it can typified by Jacques Derrida's statement in Of Grammatology: "il n'y a pas de hors-texte" ("there is no outside-text" or "there is no outside of textuality").

Good luck and read well!

Analytic Philosophy is philosophy based in logic, eg. Plato, Descartes, so on.

Continental Philosophy is philosophy based in feeling, eg. tumblr. Not really, but it is of a similar vein.


>>7417175
Metaphysics is a field within analytic philosophy.
