Philosophy took a "linguistic turn" in the twentieth century that
was marked by the focus on theories of meaning, reference,
description, predication and truth. Starting with the roots of the
analytic tradition in Frege, Meinong and Bradley, this book follows
its development in Russell and Wittgenstein and the writings of
major philosophers of the analytic tradition and of various lesser,
but well known and widely discussed, contemporary figures. In
dealing with basic issues that have preoccupied analytic
philosophers in the past century, the author notes how analytic
philosophy is sometimes transformed from its original concern with
careful and precise formulations of classical issues into the
dismissal of such issues and the resultant spinning of intricate
verbal webs, often signaling the rebirth of idealism in the guises
of "contextualism" and "anti-realism." The book thus examines the
change that came to dominate the analytic tradition by a shift of
focus from the world, as what words are about, to a preoccupation
with language itself.
