This collection of previously unpublished essays presents a new approach to the history of analytic philosophy--one that does not assume at the outset a general characterization of the distinguishing elements of the analytic tradition. Drawing together a venerable group of contributors, including John Rawls and Hilary Putnam, this volume explores the historical contexts in which analytic philosophers have worked, revealing multiple discontinuities and misunderstandings as well as a complex interaction between science and philosophical reflection.

Abstract: Among contemporary philosophers there is a growing interest in recounting the history of philosophy in the twentieth century. Those who discuss what is more or less loosely called analytic philosophyamong them some who reject the methods of analysis outrightare increasingly engaged in attempting to delineate the origins and significance of the analytic tradition. This collection of essays is meant to be a contribution to the growing historical consciousness of contemporary Anglo-American philosophy. More than that, however, the decision to bring together these particular essays stems from the editorsconception of present difficulties facing the historiography of recent philosophy. Both partisans and critics of what is called "analytic philosophy" assume that it is definable by a small number of questions, theories, principles, or concepts. This volume calls into doubt these often unquestioned, even unconscious, assumptions about the history of recent philosophy. Containing 21 previously unpublished articles by such luminaries as W.V. Quine, John Rawls, Stanley Cavell, Warren Goldfarb, Hilary Putnam, and others, this volume represents a new approach to the history of philosophy as well as a novel portrait of 20th-century analytic philosophy.

Dedication
The authors wish jointly to dedicate this volume to Burton Dreben (1927-1999), Edgar Pierce Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, Harvard University, and Professor of Philosophy, Boston University. Dreben exercised a profound influence on American analytic philosophy over the last thirty-five years, especially through his teachings on the significance and nature of the history of the analytic tradition. Every contributor to this volume has been either a colleague or a doctoral student of Dreben and each has written at least partly in reaction to Dreben's views, especially his insistence that the evolution of the analytic tradition represents a failed but noble effort to achieve scientific clarity about the nature of philosophy, and that precisely because of its failures, it is the most profound of twentieth-century philosophical traditions. Dreben took the analytic tradition to have begun with Frege and Russell, and to have been ended by Quine and Wittgenstein (from thoroughly different perspectives), hoist on the petard of its own aspirations to achieve the rigor and clarity of science. His pessimism about the rationality and progress of philosophy, and his simultaneous insistence on the importance of its history, stimulated students and colleagues from many different walks of philosophy over several generations. Some of Dreben's views are discussed in detail in John Rawls's afterword. Rawls speaks for all of us in expressing our gratitude for Dreben's teaching and scholarship. Here we wish to record our collective debt to his colleagueship and constructive criticisms of our work over many years.
