Early Analytic Philosophy
Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein

Edited by William W. Tait

These essays present new analyses of the central figures of analytic philosophy—Frege, Russell, Moore, Wittgenstein, and Carnap—from the beginnings of the analytic movement into the 1930s. The papers do not reflect a single perspective, but rather express divergent interpretations of this controversial intellectual milieu.

Contributors: Tyler Burge, Michael Friedman, Steve Gerrard, Thomas Ricketts, William Tait, Joan Weiner, Warren Goldfarb, Peter Hylton, Bernard Linsky, and Erich Reck.

"Writing on a variety of central topics, the contributors to this outstanding and rich collection bring out complex interconnections between contemporary analytic philosophy and its historic antecedents . . . the book demonstrates the great philosophical interest of the history of analytic philosophy in the hands of some of its finest practitioners."
