ACKNOWLEDGMENTS; INTRODUCTION TO THE TWO VOLUMES; PART ONE: G.E. MOORE ON ETHICS, EPISTEMOLOGY, AND PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS; PART TWO: BERTRAND RUSSELL ON LOGICAL AND LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS; PART THREE: LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN'S TRACTATUS; PART FOUR: LOGICAL POSITIVISM, EMOTIVISM, AND ETHICS; PART FIVE: THE POST-POSITIVIST PERSPECTIVE OF THE EARLY W.V. QUINE; Index.
This is a major, wide-ranging history of analytic philosophy since 1900, told by one of the tradition's leading contemporary figures. The first volume takes the story from 1900 to mid-century. The second brings the history up to date. As Scott Soames tells it, the story of analytic philosophy is one of great but uneven progress, with leading thinkers making important advances toward solving the tradition's core problems. Though no broad philosophical position ever achieved lasting dominance, Soames argues that two methodological developments have, over time, remade the philosophical landscape.
