Right? I would venture to guess that over 50% of students in my department are of the continental tradition and tend to think in anti-realist terms. I would then say 40% or more are of the analytic tradition, and love debating what things should be called, instead of facts. the remianing 10% are, I would say, very diverse, but I have encountered very few naturalists.
These numbers might be very inflated because of the neagtive associations I am experiencing currently. Nevertheless I am confident that I am correct within ten percentage points in either direction.
I think the professor really has some sophisticated views, but for the sake of the class level he is “dumbing it down” to intuitive “analysis”. He doesn’t often share his opinion in order to foster more debate and less “guesing the teacher’s passoword” which i think is a good thing for most philosophy students.

Out of curiosity, where to you go to school?
McGill University in Montreal. You?
The Open University in Israel (I’m not, strictly speaking, out of highschool yet, so this is all I got.)
