Abstract
The article discusses the shortcomings of the style adopted by analytic philosophy. This style is designed to give a sciencelike look to the text. The article begins with the origins of the style. Particular attention is paid to G.W. Leibniz who first aimed to reduce the solution of philosophical problems to formal procedures. Later similar ideals influenced analytic philosophers. After that, the article deals with the problems associated with the tacit demand of analytic philosophy to express thoughts using the sciencelike language. At the same time, the works of the continental philosophers are rejected only on the basis of a stylistic discrepancy. It makes possible to simply ignore opponent’s theses and arguments. The article claims that it’s possible to bridge the gap between two philosophical traditions by refraining of such attitude towards this style. It would enrich both analytic and continental traditions.

Summary
The article discusses the shortcomings of the style adopted by analytic philosophy. This style is designed to give a science-like look to the text. Вместе с тем есть основания считать, что наукообразный стиль не только не гарантирует качество работы, но также может ограничивать философа. Во многом это связано с тем, что Лейбниц повлиял на развитие логики. Достижения логики того периода стали важным стимулом для появления аналитической философии.
