A significant development in late twentieth-century philosophy was the fusion of pragmatist and analytic currents of thought in the Anglo-American tradition with existential approaches to phenomenology and philosophy in the European tradition. The foremost champion of this fusion was Hubert Dreyfus, although other prominent philosophers like Charles Taylor and Richard Rorty also have been influential in bringing existential phenomenology to bear on the analytic mainstream of philosophy in the English-speaking world. Dreyfus’s pragmatism-inflected and analytically friendly style of phenomenology draws freely on the work both of analytic philosophers like Wittgenstein, C. I. Lewis, Quine, and Davidson, as well as of Continental thinkers like Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Kierkegaard, and Foucault. Dreyfus was a pioneer in showing how phenomenology and existentialism are relevant to the concerns of contemporary analytic philosophy, but also in forging a distinctively Anglo-American style of existential phenomenology.
