Contemporary philosophy has been characterized by the schism between “analytical” and “continental” philosophers. However, the last decades have shown signs of approximation between these traditions. This situation has motivated a growing interest in the study of the philosophy of the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

​ The result of such efforts has been the delimitation of a sphere of research that, under the title “Origins of Contemporary Philosophy”, begins to re-study an important chapter in the history of recent philosophy, left in oblivion as a result of the rupture mentioned above.
