Ethical and Religious Thought in Analytic Philosophy of Language

Philosopher Quentin Smith rejects the widespread view that analytic philosophy is indifferent to important questions about right and wrong and human meaning. In this probing book he provides the first critical history of analytic philosophy from its inception to the present day, boldly argues that analytic philosophy has always concerned itself with the central issues of existence, and shows how analytic philosophy leads to a new ethics and philosophy of religion.
