A Hundred Years of Philosophy

523 pp. "Starting with John Stuart Mill's System of Logic (1843) he carries his survey down to embrace logical positivism, semantics, existentialism and other present-day ferments. For reasons of economy he restricts "philosophy" to epistemology, logic and metaphysics: and write, as he is bound to do, mainly from an English point of view, covering only those American and Continental philosophers whose ideas are part of the public domain oh philosophical discussion in England."--jacket
