Abstract
By "continental philosophy" I shall mean primarily phenomenology, which had its birthplace on "the continent" but now enjoys residence almost everywhere; but I shall also mean the "Heidelberg School," i.e., Dieter Henrich and his students, primarily Manfred Frank.Through the work of these thinkers, along with phenomenology's continued inquiry into self-consciousness, the self, first-person reference, and intersubjectivity, there have been convergences of philosophical interests on the side of analytic and continental philosophies.
