The Story
Analytic philosophy has become the dominant philosophical tradition in the Englishspeaking world. This book illuminates that tradition through a historical examination of a crucial period in its formation: the rejection of Idealism by Bertrand Russell and G.E. Moore at the beginning of the twentieth century, and the subsequent development of Russells thought in the period before the First World War.
