Future Pasts: the Analytic Tradition in Twentieth-Century Philosophy
edited by Juliet Floyd and Sanford Shieh

This collection of essays is meant to be a contribution to the growing historical consciousness of "analytic philosophy". More than that, however, the decision to bring together these particular essays stems from the editors' conception of present difficulties facing the historiography of recent philosophy. This volume explores the historical contexts in which analytic philosophers have worked, revealing multiple discontinuities and misunderstandings as well as a complex interaction between science and philosophical reflection. Containing twenty-one prviously unpublished articles by such luminaries as W. V. Quine, John Rawls, stanley Cavell, Warren Goldarb, Hilary Putnam, and others, this volume represents a new approach to the history of philosophy as well as an exciting and engagin portrait of twentieth-century analytic philosophy.

Juliet Floyd is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Boston University. She received her Ph.D. from Harvard University.

Sanford Shieh is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Wesleyan University. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University.
