Analytic philosophy
Analytic philosophy (sometimes, analytical philosophy) is a generic term for a style of philosophy that came to dominate English-speaking countries in the 20th century. In the United States the overwhelming majority of university philosophy departments self-identify as "analytic" departments. (This situation is mirrored in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.)

analytic philosophy
a currently dominant form of philosophy in the English speaking world. It maintains that philosophy is a (logical) analysis of concepts.  Analytic philosophers attempt to identify concepts that are the same in different languages (although, of course, expressed with different words).  See Quine  and Davidson .  Analytic philosophy has nothing to do with psychoanalysis.
