ways of doing it, but it is wrong to project it far into the past:
it did not exist at the turn of the century and only became clearly
apparent after the Second World War. I recently taught at an
American university on the his tory of philosophy from Balzano to
Husserl. The course title had to come from a fixed pool and gave
trouble. Was it philosophical logic, the nine teenth century, or
phenomenology? A logic title would connote over this period Frege,
Russell, Carnap, perhaps a mention of Boole: not continental
enough. The nineteenth century? The century of Kant's successors:
Fichte, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Feuer bach, Marx, Nietzsche? What have
they to do with Balzano, Lotze, Brentano, Meinong, Husserl and
Twardowski? Even tually 'Phenomenology' was chosen, misdescribing
more than half of the course. That illustrates the problems one
faces in trying to work against the picture of the period which is
ingrained in minds and syllabuses. This book arises from my efforts
to combat that picture. I backed into writing about the history of
recent philosophy rather than setting out to do so. The beginning
was chance. In Manchester in the early seventies, at a time when
most English philosophy departments breathed re cycled Oxford air,
the intellectual atmosphere derived from Cambridge and Warsaw,
spiced with a breath of Freiburg and Paris."
