British Analytic Philosophy in the Twentieth Century examines three
generations of analytic philosophers, who between them founded the
modern discipline of analytic philosophy in Britain. The book
explores how philosophers such as Bertrand Russell, A.J. Ayer,
Gilbert Ryle and Isaiah Berlin believed in a link between German
aggression in the twentieth century and the nineteenth-century
philosophy of Hegel and Nietzsche. Thomas L. Akehurst thus
identifies in this political critique of continental philosophy the
origins of the hugely significant faultline between analytic and
continental thought, an aspect of twentieth-century philosophy that
is still poorly understood. The book also uncovers a tripartite
alliance in British analytic philosophy, between nation, political
virtue and philosophical method. In revealing this structure behind
the assumptions of certain analytical thinkers, Akehurst challenges
the conventional wisdom that sees analytic philosophy as a
semi-detached narrowly academic pursuit. On the contrary, this
important book suggests that the analytic philosophers were
espousing a national philosophy, one they believed operated in
harmony with British thinking and the British values of liberty and
tolerance.
