About this product
Product Information
This text provides a unique and compelling account of Wittgensteins impact upon twentieth century analytic philosophy, from its inception at the turn of the century to its subsequent decline. It locates Wittgenstein in his historical context, identifies his main achievements and contrasts his two philosophies with those of Frege and Russell, the Vienna Circle, and the leading figures of Oxford philosophy. The juxtaposition of Wittgenstein and Quine is the most detailed comparative survey yet undertaken. The major criticisms of Wittgensteins later philosophy are evaluated. Lucid and accessible throughout, this volume will be a benchmark survey for all those interested in the history of philosophy in the twentieth century.

Reviews
"Wittgenstein's Place in Twentieth Century Analytic Philosophy is the most impressive history of the analytic movement yet written, covering in detail its development from its inception in Cambridge at the turn of the century to what Hacker sees as its decline in the last two decades. Along the way, Hacker provides perceptive and original accounts of the impact of Wittgenstein's Tractatus on the Viennese logical positivists, and of his Philosophical Investigations on post-war Oxford philosophy." Ray Monk, London Review of Books"Peter Hacker's new book on Wittgenstein's Place in Twentieth-Century Analytic Philosophy must be considered a welcome and important addition to this new genre ... To list the major themes of his book is to make manifest the truly impressive range of this work. Even where one wants to disagree on this or that detail, one cannot overlook the author's complete command over his material and his admirable ability to give lucid expositions of the most complex philosophical ideas. Hacker's book is, unquestionably, a major scholarly achievement." Hans Sluga, Inquiry"The book follows the usual high standards of the author - impeccable scholarly references combined with a readable style that makes it accessible to all levels of readers. It is essential to its field" Choice, C.G. Luckhardt"Intended as an epilogue to his commentary on the Philosophical Investigations, P. M. S. Hacker's Wittgenstein's Place in Twentieth Century Philosophy stands alone as a valuable, much-needed history of analytic philosophy from its beginnings to the present day. Wittgenstein's Place in Twentieth-Century Analytic Philosophy is a magisterial treatment of this topic. Like the Commentary it shows the scholarship, the history of ideas and analytic philosophy can be combined to great effect." Hans-Johann Glock, Times Higher Education Supplement"Through personal knowledge, interviews, fresh examination of texts, a look at newly discovered material, and even some use of unpublished sources, Hacker has told the general philosophical story better than Passmore, Pears (Wittgenstein), Ayer, Grayling, or Monk. In short, this is a great book about philosophy and the influence of Wittgenstein, both as an important history and as a nuts-and-bolts discussion of dense issues. This book is well-done, formidable, and breath-taking in its scope. I recommend Wittgenstein's Place in Twentieth-Century Analytic Philosophy very highly. It is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I find myself reading it for fun and enjoyment, using it as an encyclopedic reference, citing it as the final work on several key interpretations of various philosopher's positions, and searching for new nuggets of wisdom. Perhaps only Hacker could corral all the of the evidence, texts and gossip, impressions, and interpretations into a readable, fast-moving, scholarly, and fascinating volume." John Shosky, The Bertrand Russell Society, "A mojor contribution to the history of analytic philosophy, this substantial volume delivers even more than the title promises" David G Stern, The Philosophical Review
