Editorial Reviews

"If Conant and Elliott hadn’t done it, I would have thought it was impossible—an anthology that does full justice to the breadth and depth of analytic philosophy, and makes available the significant insights of the philosophers who have shaped the tradition and who loom large in determining its future. Conant and Elliott have, as well, provided the historical context for understanding the tradition, and informative and helpful headnotes illuminating the individual entries. All in all, this is a remarkable achievement, indispensable for beginners and useful for advanced students or anyone wanting to think about what analytic philosophy is and how it got to where it is now."

From the Publisher

"The Interpretive Tradition gives a synoptic picture of two centuries of philosophical thought on reality, life, humanity, society, knowledge, morality, and individuality—and much else besides. Its contents, along with the editor’s introductions, allow the reader to follow different paths through its extraordinarily rich material and makes every path taken a dazzling intellectual adventure. It is a book that one will take up again and again and always leave it more knowledgeable—and perhaps a little more wise."
