From Analysis to Genealogy. Bernard Williams and the End of the Analytic-Continental Dichotomy

In this paper I want to show how Bernard Williams contributed, especially
with his ‘turn’ in Ethics and the Limits of Philosophy, to overcoming the dichotomy between
analytic and continental philosophy, creating a style of reflection in which conceptual
analysis is deeply connected with historical awareness. The idea of genealogy, taken from
Nietzsche but heavily modified by Williams, then emerged in books such as Shame and
Necessity and Truth and Truthfulness, as an efficacious method for reflection in theoretical
and practical philosophy.
