what is the definition for continantal?

Question

i need agood explanation about continantal

Answer 1

Continental philosophy is a term used in philosophy to designate one of two major contemporary traditions of current Western philosophy. It is so named to distinguish it from analytic philosophy, because at the time when this so-called "Schism between Analytic and Continental Philosophy" first occurred (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).

Answer 2

since this question is in cooking, i would presume you are asking about continental breakfast?

Continental breakfast
An institutional meal plan based on lighter Mediterranean breakfast traditions and served in hotels world-wide is known as a European "Continental breakfast". It is a light snack meant to tide one over until lunch. It consists mainly of coffee and milk (often mixed as Cappuccino or latte) with a variety of sweet cakes such as brioche and pastries such as croissant, often with a sweet jam, cream, or chocolate filling. It is often served with juice. The continental breakfast may also include sliced cold meats, such as salami or ham, and yogurt or cereal.

(vets1son - it is the catergory of cooking and all his other questions have been food related, so it's only natural to assume that it's a cooking question. To suggest only one person answered it correctly is wrong since all the other respondents answered as if it was purely the word continental.)

Answer 5

Only 'Chaos_Dude' answered the question, and very well I might add.

All other responders posted replies under the assumption that the question was asking about 'Continetal Breakfast'.

Since the category in which the question was asked is 'Cooking and Recipes', the assumption of the other responders was natural, but the true question was not, "What is the definition of Continental 'Breakfast'", but simply, "What is the definition of Continental".

Only 'Chaos-Dude' answered the question as it was asked.

Answer 6

Brasilian, etc. It sometines means suave and sophisticated, as when applied to a male, such as a film star from Europe with
elegance and poise which seems to be lacking in today"s culture>
