This volume contains Russell's reviews of and introductions to other philosophical works including his famous introduction to Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

This collection, with contributions from leading philosophers, places analytic philosophy in a broader context comparing it with the methodology of its most important rival tradition in twentieth-century philosophy--phenomenology, whose development parallels the development of analytic philosophy in many ways. The Analytic Turn will be of great interest to historians of philosophy generally, analytic philosophers, and phenomenologists.

First published in 1988. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Philosophy, Russell argues, is concerned with the universe as a whole. He reveals how the world in which we seem to live differs from reality and makes clear how scientific advance has transformed our concept of the world.
