What is Analytic philosophy?
analytic philosophy philosophical approach focuses on logic, linguistic analysis, mathematics (at least analytic thinkers), , aligns squarely natural sciences. analytic philosophy got start philosophies of frege, russell, moore, , quine. @ roots, analytic philosophy rejects idealism (in form of hegel , f.h. bradley) , neo-kantianism (cassirer). g.e. moore wrote influential essay @ turn of 20th century rejecting idealism, , russell , cambridge thinkers found persuaded moore's position. earliest analytic philosophers (frege, russell, whitehead) attempted show mathematics can reduced logic, , later thinkers attempted apply rigor language such. is, meaningful propositions have logical value. quine said, "to value of variable."
analytic philosophy typically distinguished continental philosophy, begins largely nietzsche , husserl, , stresses importance on french , german thinkers such kant, hegel, schelling, etc. continental philosophy kettle of fish though, i'll leave @ that.
