Analytic philosophy is hard to define. It is not a particular doctrine but a loose concatenation a number of approaches to problems. It is not only strongly linked to scientism’s belief that only the natural sciences can give rise to knowledge, but also has strong humanistic ties with the great thinkers of the past and their philosophical problems. Analytic philosophers’ activities are not defined by one characteristic. Avrum Stroll, unaffected by these difficulties investigates the commonalities between this impressive breed of thinkers called analytic philosophers. He then ponders the purpose and meaning of philosophy. What are its tasks What information, illumination, and understanding can it provide if it’s not one of the natural science? Stroll’s book is full of clarity, humor, and philosophical sophistication. It presents a comprehensive overview of major developments in logic, philosophy, epistemology, and metaphysics over the past century. This is done by focusing on the most influential thinkers. The major themes of twentieth century analytic philosophy are the invention of mathematical logic by Gottlob Frege and its independent development in Bertrand Russell. They also discuss the importance of science in understanding the world of philosophy, such as logical positivism and philosophy of language. Austin, Wittgenstein and Moore refuse to consider logic an ideal language superior in natural languages. This book is filled with speculations about who, if any, will be included in the pantheon. Stroll also discusses Rudolf Carnap’s theories, W.V.O. Quine, Gilbert Ryle and Hilary Putnam are also examined.

The Life And Death Of Krishnamurti
0 out of 5(0)Mary Lutyens, who was 90 when Krishnamurti died in 1986, was able complete her books on the extraordinary man. In this biography, she has been able to put his life in perspective. This is a short but powerful account of Krishnamurti’s life. She attempts to understand Death (and his death) through his words. Although the author is only able to present Krishnamurti’s teachings, she can also help those who wish to dig deeper by studying his explorations into their origins. Mary Lutyens, who has known Krishnamurti since his arrival in England in 1929 as a new Messiah, is the best qualified person to examine Krishnamurti’s entire life and search for the answer. “Who or what was Krishnamurti?” He was very specific about what he wasn’t. He was not a guru and deplored the existence of guru-disciple relationships. He was also not the leader of any religious organization. He believed that all such organizations were obstacles to truth and that his message was relevant to everyone. His goal was to free us from all that hinders us from finding truth for ourselves. Krishnamurti wanted to promote understanding and not comfort. Although it was a strict philosophy, it was subtle and encouraged thousands of people around the globe to make a positive change in their lives. This is the only way to end violence and sorrow. His name was used to found schools and centres in Europe. This teaching was spread throughout the globe by India and America. This book shows Krishnamurti as not only an extraordinary teacher, but also as a man who is deeply in love with laughter and has deep affections.
