RUSSELL AND THE LINGUISTIC PHILOSOPHY I t is generally acknowledged
that Bertrand Russell played a vital role in the so-called
"revolution" that has taken place in twentieth century
Anglo-American philosophy, the revolution that has led many philo
sophers virtually to equate philosophy with some variety - or
varieties - of linguistic analysis. His contributions to this
revolution were two fold: (I) together with G. E. Moore he led the
successful revolt against the neo-Hegelianism of Idealists such as
Bradley and McTaggert; (2) again with Moore he provided much of the
impetus for a somewhat revolutionary way of doing philosophy. (I)
and (2) are, of course, close ly related, since the new way of
philosophizing could be said to consti tute, in large part, the
revolt against Idealism. Be this as it may, how ever, the important
fact for present consideration is that Russell was a major
influence in turning Anglo-American philosophy in the direction it
has subsequently taken - toward what may be termed, quite general
ly, the "linguistic philosophy. " Unfortunately, though his
importance as a precursor of the linguistic philosophy is
well-known, the precise sense in which Russell himself can be
considered a "philosopher of language" has not, to the present
time, been sufficiently clarified. Useful beginnings have been made
toward an investigation of this question, but they have been,
withal, only begin nings, and nothing like an adequate picture of
Russell's overall philoso phy of language is presently available."
