The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879-1930. From Frege to Ramsey

In the book “The rise of analytical philosophy 1879–1930: from Frege to Ramsey”, Michael Potter offers a fresh and convincing picture of the birth of modern analytical philosophy, considered through the prism of detailed study of the work of four philosophers who made the greatest contribution to its formation: Gottloba Frege, Bertrane Russell, Bertrane, Ludwia Wittgenstein and Frank Ramsey. It covers a wonderful period of discoveries, which began with the publication of the book by Frege Begriffsschrift in 1879 and ended with the death of Ramsey in 1930.
Potter - one of the most influential researchers of this period in philosophy - represents a deep, but intelligible description of the gap with absolute idealism and neo -Kantianism, as well as the emergence of new approaches in which recently open methods were used in logic. Like his heroes, Potter focuses mainly on philosophical logic, philosophy of mathematics and metaphysics, but he also discusses the epistemology, metaetics and philosophy of the language. The book is an important starting point for any Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein and Ramsey, as well as the history of their interaction and a wide intellectual environment of interest in the period of take -off of analytical philosophy
