書籍簡介

這是自1900年以來分析哲學的一部重要的、範圍廣泛的歷史，由該傳統的當代領先人物之一講述。第一卷講述了從1900年到本世紀中期的故事。第二卷則將這段歷史帶到了今天。

正如斯科特·索姆斯所講述的，分析哲學的故事是一個偉大但不平衡的進展，領先的思想家們在解決傳統的核心問題上取得了重要的進展。儘管沒有任何廣泛的哲學立場取得過持久的主導地位，但索姆斯認為，隨着時間的推移，有兩種方法論的發展重塑了哲學的景觀。這兩個發展是：（1）分析哲學家在理解和區分邏輯真理、先驗真理和必然真理等概念方面來之不易的成功，以及（2）逐漸接受哲學推測必須以健全的前哲學思想為基礎的觀點。儘管索姆斯以積極的眼光看待這段歷史，但他也説明了一路走來所經歷的困難、錯誤的開始和失望。當他與他的前輩和同時代人--從伯特蘭·羅素和路德維希·維特根斯坦到唐納德·戴維森和索爾·克里普克--的工作接觸時，他試圖強調他們的成就，同時也指出他們的缺點，特別是在他們的觀點受到對現在已經變得清晰的事物的不完全掌握的限制時。

索姆斯本人一直處於該傳統的一些最重要的辯論的中心，並自始至終以特別輕鬆的方式寫出了其通常複雜的想法。他的清晰論述的天賦使得這本歷史對高級本科生來説容易理解，對學者來説也很重要。儘管它在英語世界的哲學中處於中心地位，但哲學中的分析傳統卻很少有合成的歷史。這將是衡量所有未來描述的基準。

This is a major, wide-ranging history of analytic philosophy since 1900, told by one of the tradition’s leading contemporary figures. The first volume takes the story from 1900 to mid-century. The second brings the history up to date.

As Scott Soames tells it, the story of analytic philosophy is one of great but uneven progress, with leading thinkers making important advances toward solving the tradition’s core problems. Though no broad philosophical position ever achieved lasting dominance, Soames argues that two methodological developments have, over time, remade the philosophical landscape. These are (1) analytic philosophers’ hard-won success in understanding, and distinguishing the notions of logical truth, a priori truth, and necessary truth, and (2) gradual acceptance of the idea that philosophical speculation must be grounded in sound prephilosophical thought. Though Soames views this history in a positive light, he also illustrates the difficulties, false starts, and disappointments endured along the way. As he engages with the work of his predecessors and contemporaries?—?from Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein to Donald Davidson and Saul Kripke?—?he seeks to highlight their accomplishments while also pinpointing their shortcomings, especially where their perspectives were limited by an incomplete grasp of matters that have now become clear.

Soames himself has been at the center of some of the tradition’s most important debates, and throughout writes with exceptional ease about its often complex ideas. His gift for clear exposition makes the history as accessible to advanced undergraduates as it will be important to scholars. Despite its centrality to philosophy in the English-speaking world, the analytic tradition in philosophy has had very few synthetic histories. This will be the benchmark against which all future accounts will be measured.
