This book argues that two developments have remade the philosophical landscape - analytic philosophers' success in understanding and distinguishing the notions of logical truth, and acceptance of the idea that philosophical speculation must be grounded in prephilosophical thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the 2003 Award for Best Professional\/Scholarly Book in Philosophy, Association of American Publishers \"I know of no sustained philosophical work that is as clear, deep, and incisive as these two volumes. There are several other excellent books on twentieth-century analytic philosophy, but Soames's is likely to become the standard. His ability to reconstruct arguments, to fill in inchoate arguments, and to detect what may have motivated or underlain some philosopher's position is amazing... These are superb volumes by a superb philosopher.\"--A. P. Martinich, Journal of the History of Philosophy \"The writing and the organization are admirably clear and straightforward, exhibiting many of the virtues Soames claims for the tradition as a whole... It is hard to imagine another work being produced which would deliver so much solid information on this dense and difficult subject matter in such easy form.\"--Charles T. Mathewes, Virginia Quarterly Review \"Because of its combination of sympathetic, illuminating exposition of the central doctrines and arguments of the analytic tradition and the hard-nosed critical evaluation to which they are subjected, this will surely be the standard history of analytic philosophy for many years to come.\"--Choice Philosophical Analysis in the Twentieth Century is a marvelous introduction to analytic philosophy. The two volumes unfold as a series of studies of some of the most important and influential philosophers in the analytic tradition... It is a philosopher's history of analytic philosophy, with a careful and critical assessment of ideas about truth, morality, logic, mind, and meaning.\"--Alex Byrne and Ned Hall, Boston Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xi  Introduction to Volume 2 xiii  PART ONE: LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN'S PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS 1  CHAPTER 1  Rejection of the Tractarian Conception of Language and Analysis 3  CHAPTER 2  Rule Following and the Private Language Argument 32  Suggested Further Reading 62  PART TWO: CLASSICS OF ORDINARY LANGUAGE PHILOSOPHY: TRUTH, GOODNESS, THE MIND, AND ANALYSIS 65  CHAPTER 3  Ryle's Dilemmas 67  CHAPTER 4  Ryle's Concept of Mind 92  CHAPTER 5  Strawson's Performative Theory of Truth 115  CHAPTER 6  Hare's Performative Theory of Goodness 135  Suggested Further Reading 153  PART THREE: MORE CLASSICS OF ORDINARY LANGUAGE PHILOSOPHY: THE RESPONSE TO RADICAL SKEPTICISM 155  CHAPTER 7  Malcolm's Paradigm Case Argument 157  CHAPTER 8  Austin's Sense and Sensibilia 171  Suggested Further Reading 193  PART FOUR: PAUL GRICE AND THE END OF ORDINARY LANGUAGE PHILOSOPHY 195  CHAPTER 9  Language Use and the Logic of Conversation 197  Suggested Further Reading 219  PART FIVE: THE PHILOSOPHICAL NATURALISM OF WILLARD VAN ORMAN QUINE 221  CHAPTER 10  The Indeterminacy of Translation 223  CHAPTER 11  Quine's Radical Semantic Eliminativism 259  Suggested Further Reading 287  PART SIX: DONALD DAVIDSON ON TRUTH AND MEANING 289  CHAPTER 12  Theories of Truth as Theories of Meaning 291  CHAPTER 13  Truth, Interpretation, and the Alleged Unintelligibility of Alternative Conceptual Schemes 312  Suggested Further Reading 331  PART SEVEN: SAUL KRIPKE ON NAMING AND NECESSITY 333  CHAPTER 14  Names, Essence, and Possibility 335  CHAPTER 15  The Necessary Aposteriori 372  CHAPTER 16  The Contingent Apriori 397  CHAPTER 17  Natural Kind Terms and Theoretical Identification Statements 423  Suggested Further Reading 457  EPILOGUE  The Era of Specialization 461  Index 477","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403737932119,"sku":"9780691123127","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/philosophical-analysis-in-the-twentieth-century-volume-2-9780691123127","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
