| Summary: | This volume is the first to be dedicated exclusively to the philosophy of Susan Stebbing (1885-1943), a pivotal figure in early analytic philosophy who has, until recently, been unjustly neglected. The eleven historical essays that comprise the volume explore (many for the first time) various elements of Stebbing's prolific output: the significance of her work on metaphysical analysis, her contributions to public philosophy, including her work in the philosophy of physics, critical thinking, ethics and counterpropaganda efforts, as well as her work in philosophical logic and the philosophy of language. The volume endeavors to reinstate Stebbing's place in the analytic tradition by examining her ideas in context and elucidating their significance, many of which are still relevant to present day philosophy. |
