Quora answer: Why are there so many projects to build The One Ontology to Rule Them All?May                22                2014It is like programming languages only not as bad, why are there so many programming languages being developed now? Because there are a myriad ideas on how to do it and they are fighting out a survival of the fittest sort of game. What is really happening is that a lot of domain specific ontologies are being created. One ontology to rule them all is a pipe dream. The implicit knowledge in the world is just too complex. As far as I know only Cyc has the idea of trying to explicitly cover everything.

In other words the Analytical philosophers claim that Continental philosophy is fake philosophy, (meaningless and senseless) and that Analytical philosophy is the true philosophy while for the most part other Continental philosophers just get on with their work and have no concern for denigrating Analytical Philosophy. So it should be our suspicion that the ones claiming to be the real philosophers while running down others must have something to hide. And part of what they have to hide is that theirs is really the fake philosophy. Let us remember that analytical philosophy started out as an anti-philosophy saying that all metaphysics was an illusion.
