A Companion to Analytic Philosophy

Beschreibung

A Companion to Analytic Philosophy is a comprehensive guide to over forty of the significant analytic philosophers from the last hundred years. The entries in this Companion are contributed by contemporary philosophers, including some of the most distinguished now living, such as Michael Dummett, Frank Jackson, P.M.S. Hacker, Israel Scheffler, John Searle, Ernest Sosa, and Robert Stalnaker. They discuss the arguments of influential figures in the history of analytic philosophy, among them Frege, Russell, Moore, Wittgenstein, and Quine. The articles on each philosopher provide clear and extensive analysis of profound and widely encountered concepts such as meaning, truth, knowledge, goodness, and the mind. This volume is a vital resource for anyone interested in analytic philosophy.

Rezensionen

"This is an excellent resource for courses in analytic philosophyas well as for readers who want an overview of twentieth-centuryAnglo-American philosophy. Few books introduce readers to theentire field, and none do so as thoroughly and effectively as thisone."
Daniel Bonevac, University of Texas at Austin

As the twentieth century has come to an end, a book that doesthe service of summarizing the views of major philosophers in theanalytic tradition is greatly needed. This book gives acomprehensive coverage of all major analytic philosophers andreflects a joint effort by distinguished philosophers in the field.It will thus stand out as the standard text on analyticphilosophy.
