Analytic Philosophy Analytic Philosophy is a 20th Century movement in Philosophy which holds that philosophy should apply logical techniques in order to attain conceptual clarity,and that philosophy should be consistent with the success.
For many Analytic philosophers,language is the principal tool,and philosophy consists in clarifying how language can be used<br>
03
Analytic Philosophy as a specific movement was led by Bertrand Russell, Alfred North Whitehead,G.E Moore and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Analytic philosophy also used as a catch all pharase toinclude all branches of contemporary philosophy not included under the lebel continental Philosophy,such as logical positivism,Logicism and Ordinary Language Philosophy.<br>
04
There are Three main fundamental planks of Analytic Philosophy:-- That there are no specifically philosophical truths and that the object of philosophy is the logical clarification of thoughts.
That the logical clarification of thoghts can be achieved by analysis of the logical form of philosophical proposition,such as by using the formal grammer and symbolism of a logical system.
A rejection of sweeping philosophical system<br>
05
Development of Analytic Philosophy: Early development in Analytic Philosophy arose out of the work of the German mathematician and logician Gottlob Frege,and his Development of Predicate Logic.
Russell and Whitehead particularly in their groundbreaking “principia Mathematica”and their development of symbolic Logic, attempted to show that mathematics is reducible to fundamental logical principles.<br>
06
From about 1910-1930,Analytic philosophers like Russell and Wittgenstein focused on creating an ideal language for philosophical analysis ,which would be free from the ambiguities of ordinary language that,in their view,often got philosophers into trouble
In the 1940 -1950 following wittgenstein’s later philosophy ,Analytic philosophy look a turn toward Ordinary Language Philosophy.<br>
07
Following heavy attacks on Analytic Philosophy in the 1950-1960,both logical positivsm and Ordinary Language Philosophy rapidly fell out of fashion.
More contemporary Analytic Philosopher has also included existensive work in other areas of philosophy ,such as in Ethics by Phillipa Foot(1920),R.M(1919-2002)and J.Lmakie(1917-1981),in political philosophyby John Rawls(1921-2002)and Philosophy of mind by Daniel Dennett (1942) and Paul Churchland.<br>
