Wittgenstein Analytic is a public and moderated mailing list for the discussion of analytic philosophy, its history, its literature, and other topics of related interest. The tradition of analytic philosophy, which today dominates the philosophy departments of universities throughout the English-speaking world, could be said to consider language, and especially meaning, the central problem of philosophy. Its roots are in the writings of Gottlob Frege, G. E. Moore, and Bertrand Russell, was further developed by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rudolf Carnap, J. L. Austin, and W. V. Quine, and is now led by, among others, P. F. Strawson, Michael Dummett, John Rawls, Donald Davidson, Hilary Putnam, and Saul Kripke. A concise and sympathetic description of this tradition can be found in John Searle's introductory essay to The Blackwell Companion to Philosophy . Bibliography Lists many books that lay the foundation for discussion on this list.
