 It is generally thought dialectics has become 
central to "Continental" philosophy, while it 
plays no part in "Anglo-American" philosophy. 
In other words, on the continent of Europe, 
dialectics has entered intellectual culture as 
what might be called a legitimate part of thought 
and philosophy, whereas in America and Britain, 
the dialectic plays no discernible part in the 
intellectual culture, which instead tends toward 
positivism.
