Analytic philosophy and the history of philosophy

Nicholas Capaldi

pp. 393-442

Abstract

This chapter demonstrates: (1) how analytic philosophy, as a reflection of the Enlightenment Project, understands the relation between philosophy and the history of philosophy; (2) how analytic philosophy understands its own history; and (3) how the analytic understanding of these issues renders itself highly problematic. We provide a way of overcoming these difficulties by showing how the history of philosophy is integral to philosophy itself.
