Krátky popis
Analytic philosophy is the leading form of philosophy in the
English-speaking world. What explains its continued success?
Christoph Schuringa argues that its enduring power can only be
understood by examining its social history. Analytic philosophy
tends to think of itself as concerned with eternal questions,
transcending the changing scenes of history.It thinks of itself as
apolitical. This book, however, convincingly shows that the
opposite is true. The origins of analytic philosophy are in a set
of distinct movements, shaped by high-ly specific sets of political
and social forces.Only after the Second World War were these
disparate, often dynamic movements joined together to make
'analytic philosophy' as we know it. In the climate of McCarthyism,
analytic philosophy was robbed of political force. To this day,
analytic philosophy is the ideology of the status quo.It may seem
arcane and largely removed from the real world, but it is a crucial
component in upholding liberalism, through its central role in
elite educational institutions. As Schuringa concludes, the
apparently increasing friendliness of analytic philosophers to
rival approaches in philosophy should be understood as a form of
colonization, thanks to its hegemonic status, it reformats all it
touches in service of its own imperatives, going so far as to
colonize decolonial efforts in the discipline.
