| 1. |  | A History of Western Philosophy: Counterpoint
from Holiday House
Customer Review:
Yes, since it's original publication in 1945, this book has become a little dated. However, this has in no way diminished its readability one iota; this tome has not become an "artifact" just yet.
Bertrand Russell pulled this book together from class notes he had compiled while teaching... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | What is Analytic Philosophy?
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $22.49
Customer Review:
I cannot help but echo the Notre Dame Philosophical Review's opinion: this is, indeed, a great book. Sure, there are flaws here and there, but that's nitpicking. Glock really does know his stuff, and he doesn't make any of the errors standard works on this topic do. He understands analytic... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 3. | ![]() | Studies in the Way of Words
from Harvard University Press
Customer Review:
Grice was regarded by colleagues in philosophy as one of the brightest mean who never wrote. He, like John Wisdom, was an exceptionally brillant and nuanced man who (psychologist neede) would not publish.
What a shame. Maybe this in some small way fills a large gap. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Infinite Thought: Truth and the Return to Philosophy
from Continuum International Publishing Group
Customer Review:
re: mortality in Badiou (addressed in Sam's review above).
Is it not the ethical subject that is supposed to be immortal, not the human animal? The ethical subject can exceed the human subject -- can be, for example, more than one person. I think.
Great synopsis, though. | 3.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Bertrand Russell on God and Religion (Great Books in Philosophy)
from Prometheus Books
Price: $17.15
Customer Review:
Bertrand Russell's thoughts upon religion are often very interesting and exciting to read. I particularly enjoyed reading a theologian's nightmare. However hardly any of this book is philosophy on par with Russell's work in other subjects. Most of what appears to be valid in the book amounts to a... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Analytic Philosophy: An Anthology (Blackwell Philosophy Anthologies)
from Wiley-Blackwell
Price: $127.95
Customer Review:
This is an extraordinary anthology, not only in the sense that it includes the basic writings on philosophy of language (like Frege's "On Sense and Reference" and "The Thought", and the important reading of Bertrand Russell "On Denoting") but also contains readings on metaphysics which include... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Contemporary Analytic Philosophy
from Prentice Hall
Customer Review:
Contemporary Analytic Philosophy by James Bailie originally published in 1997 provides an overview of analytic philosophy from Frege to the present. It is a strong mix of key writings by leading thinkers in the analytic tradition as well as some clear and helpful analysis by Bailie. As with all... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Introduction to Philosophical Analysis, An (4th Edition)
from Prentice Hall
Price: $59.84
Customer Review:
As a beginner and amateur in this area, I found this book to be extremely intersting and informative. In an informal and light style, uncharacteristic of the philosphy books, the author gives you a very comprehensive introduction of the most fundamental issues in philosophy. Apart from its narrative... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Properties (Oxford Readings in Philosophy)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Customer Review:
The essays in this topical collection provide a thorough discussion of that question. Drawn mostly from contemporary philosophy, the collection nevertheless begins a bit further back: with Gottlob Frege's "Function and Concept," two contributions from Bertrand Russell, and F.P. Ramsey's... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Twentieth-Century Analytic Philosophy
from Columbia University Press
Price: $80.50
Customer Review:
Reading original philosophers of the 20th century doing analytical philosophy is a challenging task, but this book is not quite up to the task that "Analytic Philosophy: An Anthology" from Blackwell is. Summations and Narratives have their place in historical works, but doing philosophy within its... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
