Continental philosophy is a term used in philosophy to designate one of two major "traditions" of modern Western philosophy. It is so named to distinguish it from analytic philosophy, because, at the time the distinction was first noted (in the mid-twentieth century), continental philosophy was the dominant style of philosophy in continental Europe, while analytical philosophy was the predominant style in the English-speaking world and in Scandinavia. Continental philosophy is generally agreed to include phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, structuralism, post-structuralism and post-modernism, deconstruction, French feminism, critical theory such as that of the Frankfurt School, psychoanalysis, the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Søren Kierkegaard, and most branches of Marxism and Marxist philosophy (though there also exists a self-described Analytical Marxism, which self-consciously places itself in the analytical tradition).
However, this distinction was and is largely rooted in socio-cultural differences between continental Europe, especially in France and Germany, as compared to Anglophone countries, like Britain, rather than differences in philosophical tradition. This is clearly seen by the fact that many of the influential philosophers of the Analytic tradition were indeed German speaking and continental European philosophers. These included leading proponents, such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rudolf Carnap, Kurt Gödel, Karl Popper, Hans Reichenbach, Herbert Feigl, Otto Neurath, and Carl Hempel who came from Continental Europe. They are today known as German analytical tradition of Philosophy which was very influential on Logical positivism, linguistic analysis and the philosophy of science.
