In the mid 1990s I wrote my Master's thesis about the difference between Analytical and Continental philosophy. To summarise it: The difference is more sociological (who quotes whom), historical (which are the classics you refer to, such as Kant vs. Hume, etc.) and a matter of style (a tendency (not more) to use formal logical to make something explicit or do without it) than actual philosophical differences.
For every content criterion that people have brought up to mark the difference between Analytical and Continental philosophy, one could usually find a prominent philosopher in either camp who match or does not match it:
Analytical philosophy: Formal logic? -- The early Wittgenstein is fond of it, but the late Wittgenstein moves away from it.
Analytical philosophy: Problems of philosophy as language problems? -- But Nietzsche and his fans (such as Mauthner).
Analytical philosophy: Importance of natural sciences for philosophy? -- But Cassirer.
Continental philosophy: Focus on hermeneutics? -- But Rorty.
Continental philosophy: Organic thinking (Hegel, etc.)? -- But Quine's holism.
Continental philosophy: Existentialism -- But many on the continent were not convinced. But many in the USA were interested. But Wittgensteins's mysticism.
