The Analytic Tradition in Twentieth-Century Philosophy

This collection of previously unpublished essays presents a new approach to the history of analytic philosophy—one that does not assume at the outset a general characterization of the distinguishing elements of the analytic tradition. Drawing together a venerable group of contributors, including John Rawls and Hilary Putnam, this volume explores the historical contexts in which analytic philosophers have worked, revealing multiple discontinuities and misunderstandings as well as a complex interaction between science and philosophical reflection.
