A Journey Through 20th Century Philosophy: From Russell to Searle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781074575397)

Covering the ideas of Bertrand Russell, Gilbert Ryle, Saul Kripke, John Searle and others. This book considers the 20th century attempts of analytic philosophy to base philosophy on logical atomism and on science, assessing their strengths and ultimate limitations in relation to notions of the self, mind and morality. In these areas the notion of the isolated atom in a contingent world breaks down as a realistic model, and so to reconsider the position of philosophical discourse in our society moving forward we need a new ontological foundation that better captures what we mean by persons as embodied minds.
