How can I study Continental philosophy at an American university? Im sick and tired of this analytic stuff that the philosophy department does, I hear some of the social sciences like sociology and psychology were heavily influenced by Nietzsche, Marx, Hegel etc. Is this the only way to study conty philosophy in the USA?

This is probably off topic and will cost me a ban, but im willing to take a few days off to learn more about my fellow /litizens/. Im a Philosophy major, I can't say I really care for it that much though. Im no fan of analytic philosophy, so going in I didn't expect much, but the pedantic discussions that go on in class have me on the verge of change to something else, probably History or English.

Pic related is what I'd like to be studying, but instead we study Russell and his acolytes.

daily reminder that reading too much of other people's work dulls your intellect and ability to think for yourself.
