20th Century ~ Present

Entering the 20th century, two world wars shattered the grand narratives of universal progress. Philosophy underwent a massive divergence: Anglo-American "Analytic Philosophy" focused on logical analysis, science, and clarity of language; Continental "Phenomenology and Postmodernism" confronted the absurdity of existence, body observation, and deconstruction of power systems; while American "Pragmatism" championed tangible utility and learning-by-doing.
