From Frege to Wittgenstein: Perspectives on Early Analytic Philosophy

by Erich H. Reck

Overview

Analytic philosophy—arguably one of the most important philosophical movements in the twentieth century—has gained a new historical self-consciousness, particularly about its own origins. Between 1880 and 1930, the most important work of its founding figures (Frege, Russell, Moore, Wittgenstein) not only gained attention but flourished. In this collection, fifteen previously unpublished essays explore different facets of this period, with an emphasis on the vital intellectual relationship between Frege and the early Wittgenstein.
