  1. 1. The Rise Of Analytic Philosophy, 1879–1930

    1879–1930

    A concise intellectual history of how analytic philosophy emerged between 1879 and 1930, tracing the shift from idealism to a new style of work centered on logic, language, and rigorous argument; the narrative highlights the roles of Frege, Russell, Moore and early Wittgenstein, the logical revolution and challenges to 19th-century doctrines, and the simultaneous professionalization and institutional embedding of the new movement in universities, journals and networks, arguing that analytic philosophy’s characteristic methods and priorities were products of both philosophical ideas and their social and institutional contexts.
