Analytic philosophy is a broad, contemporary movement or tradition within Western philosophy and especially anglophone philosophy focused on analysis.[a][b]
Analytic philosophy is often contrasted with continental philosophy,[c] coined as a catch-all term for other methods, prominent in continental Europe,[d] most notably existentialism, phenomenology, and Hegelianism.[e][f][g] The distinction has also been drawn as analytic is academic or technical philosophy, while continental is literary philosophy.[h][i]
Analytic philosophy is characterized by a style of clarity of prose and rigor in arguments, making use of formal logic and mathematics, and, to a lesser degree, the natural sciences.[12][13][j][k][l] It is further characterized by an interest in language and meaning known as the linguistic turn.[17][m][n][o] It has developed several new branches of philosophy and logic, notably philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of science, modern predicate logic and mathematical logic.[21]
The proliferation of analysis in philosophy began around the turn of the 20th century and has been dominant since the latter half of the 20th century.[22][23][24][p] Central figures in its historical development are Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Other important figures in its history include Franz Brentano, the logical positivists (particularly Rudolf Carnap), the ordinary language philosophers, W. V. O. Quine, and Karl Popper. After the decline of logical positivism, Saul Kripke, David Lewis, and others led a revival in metaphysics.
