相对于其辉煌的历史,今天的英国虽光辉不在,却也生机勃勃。英国高校当前约有40个专门的哲学系,有着一支颇具实力的研究队伍。也有越来越多的中学生将哲学选为其考试科目。尽管与历史、英文和自然科学相比哲学还是个小众科目。受其传统影响,英国哲学在一般的文化和政治话语中不占要位。英国哲学与北美和欧洲大陆其他国家有紧密联系,尽管分析哲学的传统还是占主导地位,北美哲学和其他欧洲哲学还是影响到了英国哲学。当前英国哲学研究具有三个新的趋势,即实验哲学的兴起,女性主义与交叉学科化以及研究问题的多元化。自然主义与超验主义的争论将贯穿其始终。
Relative to its glorious history, Britain today is full of vigor and vitality despite its brilliance. There are currently about 40 specialized philosophical departments in British universities and have a rather strong research team. There are also more and more high school students who choose philosophy as their subject of examination. Although philosophy is a minority subject in comparison with history, English and the natural sciences. Influenced by its tradition, British philosophy does not occupy a place in general cultural and political discourse. British philosophy has close ties with North America and other countries in the European continent, and North American philosophy and other European philosophies have influenced British philosophy despite the tradition of analytic philosophy. The current British philosophical research has three new trends, namely the rise of experimental philosophy, feminism and interdisciplinary and the diversification of research issues. The debate between naturalism and transcendentalism runs through it.
