In this book Michael Potter offers a fresh and compelling portrait
of the birth of modern analytic philosophy, viewed through the lens
of a detailed study of the work of the four philosophers who
contributed most to shaping it: Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell,
Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Frank Ramsey. It covers the remarkable
period of discovery that began with the publication of Frege's
Begriffsschrift in 1879 and ended with Ramsey's death in 1930.
Potter-one of the most influential scholars of this period in
philosophy-presents a deep but accessible account of the break with
absolute idealism and neo-Kantianism, and the emergence of
approaches that exploited the newly discovered methods in logic.
Like his subjects, Potter focusses principally on philosophical
logic, philosophy of mathematics, and metaphysics, but he also
discusses epistemology, meta-ethics, and the philosophy of
language. The book is an essential starting point for any student
attempting to understand the work of Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein,
and Ramsey, as well as their interactions and their larger
intellectual milieux. It will also be of interest to anyone who
wants to cast light on current philosophical problems through a
better understanding of their origins.
