Susan Stebbing on Logic and Analysis

Beschreibung

This volume presents a collection of newly commissioned essays on the work of L. Susan Stebbing (1885-1943). Stebbing was an important figure in the development of analytic philosophy in the first half of the twentieth century, and a pioneer of the social utility of philosophy and of the application of logical analysis to critical inquiry into language use. The separate studies of Stebbing s work included in this volume offer fresh perspectives across three broad topics: Logic and Cambridge Analysis; Idealism, Realism and the Philosophy of Science; and Public Philosophy and Social Engagement. The volume brings together seven chapters by leading international scholars in the field, along with a contextualising introduction, in order to advance understanding of the importance, originality and continuing significance of Stebbing s remarkable oeuvre.
