| | Right Reason: Substantive and Procedural Senses of 'Analytic' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | Since all or most of the contributors to this weblog would describe themselves as ‘analytic’ conservatives, it may be useful to distinguish two senses of the term ‘analytic,’ one of which could be called substantive, the other procedural.... |
 | | What distinguishes analytical philosophy, in its diverse manifestations, from other schools is the belief, first, that a philosophical account of thought can be attained through a philosophical account of language, and secondly, that a comprehensive account can only be so attained. |
 | | I'm described as an 'analytic' philosopher (in the second sense), even though I have very little in common substantively with any of the founders of 'analytic philosophy' (in the first sense): the linguistic turn, hostility to metaphysics (especially ontology), logicism, verificationism, behaviorism, the analytic/synthetic distinction. |
