How A Supposedly Apolitical Form Of Philosophy Owes Its Continuing Power To Social And Political Forcesanalytic Philosophy Is The Leading Form Of Philosophy In The EnglishSpeaking World. What Explains Its Continued Success? Christoph Schuringa Argues That Its Enduring Power Can Only Be Understood By Examining Its Social History. Analytic Philosophy Tends To Think Of Itself As Concerned With Eternal Questions, Transcending The Changing Scenes Of History. It Thinks Of Itself As Apolitical. This Book, However, Convincingly Shows That The Opposite Is True.The Origins Of Analytic Philosophy Are In A Set Of Distinct Movements, Shaped By HighLy Specific Sets Of Political And Social Forces. Only After The Second World War Were These Disparate, Often Dynamic Movements Joined Together To Make Analytic Philosophy As We Know It. In The Climate Of Mccarthyism, Analytic Philosophy Was Robbed Of Political Force.To This Day, Analytic Philosophy Is The Ideology Of The Status Quo. It May Seem Arcane And Largely Removed From The Real World, But It Is A Crucial Component In Upholding Liberalism, Through Its Central Role In Elite Educational Institutions. As Schuringa Concludes, The Apparently Increasing Friendliness Of Analytic Philosophers To Rival Approaches In Philosophy Should Be Understood As A Form Of Colonization; Thanks To Its Hegemonic Status, It Reformats All It Touches In Service Of Its Own Imperatives, Going So Far As To Colonize Decolonial Efforts In The Discipline.
