Abstract

The paper proposes the interpretative hypothesis that Analytical philosophy and Continental philosophy are two divergent epigones of Hegel’s unrealized project for an alternative logic, which in the 1930sindependently born as intuitionist mathematical logic. This perspective is supported by the interpretive patterns concerning the nature of these two schools and their main representatives, Quine and Heidegger, respectively. In conclusion a consideration about history of philosophy and its new perspective is added.
