Preview The Analytic Turn - Analysis in Early Analytic Philosophy

The Analytic Turn One of the most important developments in twentieth-century philosophy – arguably the most important development – was the rise of analytic philo- sophy. In recent years there has been growing interest in the history of analytic philosophy and increasing debate over what exactly ‘analytic phi- losophy’ means. The name suggests that analysis is accorded a central role in its methodology, and one might indeed talk of an ’analytic turn’ as having taken place in giving rise to analytic philosophy. But this analytic turn was a complex event, and studies in the history of analytic philosophy showthattherearemanyconceptionsofanalysisinplay,bothexplicitlyand implicitly. This volume sheds light on these conceptions, particularly in the early phases of the history of analytic philosophy, and compares them with the methodology of phenomenology, one of the main rival traditions in twentieth-century philosophy. Here, too, one might speak of an ‘analytic turn’ as having taken place, and the relationship between the analytic and phenomenological traditions is a further theme of the volume. Part I explores the work of Frege and Russell, two of the founders of analytic philosophy, explaining the development of their work and some of the similarities and differences. Part II contains essays on Wittgenstein and other philosophers, elucidating the shift in the second phase of analytic philosophy from broadly decompositional and reductive conceptions of analysis to explicatory and connective conceptions. Part III focuses on Bolzano and Husserl, clarifying their methodology and some of the rela- tionshipswith methodologies in the analytic tradition. This collection of essays, with contributions from leading philosophers in both the analytic and phenomenological traditions, and an introductory overview provided by the editor, will be welcomed by analytic philosophers, phenomenologists, and anyone interested in the history of philosophy, and of twentieth-century philosophy, in particular.
