Description
A collection of nine papers by philosophers from Britain, Germany and America, on the nature and history of the analytic tradition in contemporary philosophy. All are published here for the first time. The book is an expression of a growing realization on the part of analytic philosophers that there is a need to come to terms with the tradition within which they work. And this requires, for example, an assessment of its value, an understanding of its methodological and doctrinal presuppositions, and perhaps, too, an increased awareness of the points dividing "analytic" thinkers from those in other traditions - particularly "continental" philosophers whose roots lie in the works of Brenanto, Husserl and Heidegger.
