Reviews

"The idea of shedding light on a philosophical tradition by looking at interpretations of philosophical texts that shaped it is intriguing and original. Analytic Philosophy: An Interpretative History shows that this approach can yield important insights into analytic philosophy as well as the texts that shaped it."--Mark Textor, King's College London"This book offers a bold and invigorating new set of perspectives on the history of analytic philosophy, centring on the idea of a tradition-shaping interpretation. This is an interpretation of anything, from an individual text to a whole tradition, that transforms our understanding of the relevant tradition. That such interpretations have indeed played a major role in the construction of analytic philosophy is brought out, convincingly and insightfully, through an excellent choice of case studies by many of the leading scholars in the field. This book is to be recommended not only to all those concerned with analytic philosophy and its history but also to anyone interested in philosophical historiography."--Michael Beaney, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and King’s College London"This is a provocative collection of essays which provide new ways of thinking about the origins, identity, and significance of analytic philosophy. The essays combine substantive scholarship with critical insights to challenge traditional narratives about the rise of analytic philosophy. Indeed, by the end, one is left to wonder whether ‘analytic philosophy’ has any real essence at all – or is it just an ideological turn of phrase that was useful for a time but should now be discarded."--Thomas Baldwin, University of York
