Future Pasts: The Analytic Tradition in Twentieth-Century PhilosophyJuliet Floyd, Sanford Shieh Oxford University Press, 30. aug. 2001 - 480 sider This collection of previously unpublished essays presents a new approach to the history of analytic philosophy--one that does not assume at the outset a general characterization of the distinguishing elements of the analytic tradition. Drawing together a venerable group of contributors, including John Rawls and Hilary Putnam, this volume explores the historical contexts in which analytic philosophers have worked, revealing multiple discontinuities and misunderstandings as well as a complex interaction between science and philosophical reflection. |

Side 28 - Logic, I should maintain, must no more admit a unicorn than zoology can; for logic is concerned with the real world just as truly as zoology, though with its more abstract and general features.
Side 400 - This, therefore, being my purpose to inquire into the original, certainty, and extent of human knowledge ; together with the grounds and 'degrees of belief, opinion, and assent; I shall not at present meddle with the physical consideration of the mind, § 2.

Side 43 - My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them - as steps - to climb up beyond them. (He must, so to speak, throw away the ladder after he has climbed up it.) He must transcend these propositions, and then he will see the world aright.
Side 45 - Philosophy aims at the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy is not a body of doctrine but an activity. A philosophical work consists essentially of elucidations. Philosophy does not result in 'philosophical propositions', but rather in the clarification of propositions.
Side 152 - It is possible to use signs of this kind whenever fixed and definite rules of operation can be derived from the nature of the things symbolised, so as to be applied in manipulating the signs without further reference to their signification. A word is an instrument for thinking about the meaning which it expresses ; a substitute sign is a means of not thinking about the meaning which it symbolises.
Side 400 - ... to examine our own abilities, and see what objects our understandings were, or were not, fitted to deal with.
