I think it is important to point out that in a certain sense the very critical thinking movement opponent right now is not just analytic philosophy but also French Post-structuralism. After all it also inverts the liberal humanist paradigm. At first it rode front seat with critical theory but the later thinkers in it are just dubbed “later term capitalists”.In a certain way it echoes the true nature of nihilistic thought.
