Business-made philosophy – how the super-rich wanted the proper philosophy (analytic philosophy)

Initiatives arise from people or background eminences – a few examples of people’s initiatives: anti-war sentiments, abolition of childhood labor, Black Lives Matter, Women’s Suffrage Movement; a few examples of background eminences’ initiatives: corruption fight at the end of the 19th and beginning of 20th century in the USA, woke culture, LGBTQ+, global corruption fight in the 2010s. 

And the last one? Yes, a normal science-friendly philosophy. Because plenty of continental philosophers fit the mental asylum more than I do. So what is the criticism of so-called continental philosophy?

Lack of clarity and precision, obscurity and jargon, anti-scientific or anti-rational stance, lack of problem-solving, political and ideological bias, excessive reliance on tradition, lack of clarity on methodology, overemphasis on subjectivity, fragmentation, and diversity (so common with pseudosciences), difficulty in application (some critics contend that continental philosophy’s focus on abstract concepts and hermeneutic interpretation can make it less applicable to practical or real-world issues).

So the powerful wanted a normal religion-free philosophy that would follow an extremely progressive constitution back then (today obsolete) and that would be able to provide information for them or in wartime. Note that while original analytic philosophy originated in Europe, the mass knowledge that makes it was discovered after WW2 in the USA.

So it is a business-made philosophy!
