The Rise of Analytic Philosophy, 1879-1930

Focusing on the evolution of analytic philosophy from 1879 to 1930, this book presents a detailed exploration of the shift away from Absolute Idealism and Neo-Kantianism. Michael Potter examines key figures like Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, and Ramsey, emphasizing their contributions to philosophical logic and the philosophy of mathematics. By intertwining these developments with broader metaphysical and meta-ethical issues, the book serves as an essential resource for students and philosophers seeking to understand the origins of contemporary philosophical problems.
