ABSTRACT
It is often held that a proper Aufhebung of the analytical/continental split would apply the clarity and rigor of analytical philosophy to the kind of urgently relevant issues favored by continental philosophers. Both rigor and relevance are necessary for good philosophy, but the following observations suggest that there are limits to the Aufhebung model:
(1) That time and space differ from one another is perfectly obvious. (2) Just how they differ is somewhat harder to state. (3) And why they differ is a question so bizarre as to look misshapen.
