Beskrivning

Susan Stebbing: Analysis, Common Sense, and Public Philosophyis the first edited volume to be dedicated exclusively to the philosophy of Susan Stebbing (1885-1943)—a pivotal yet neglected figure in the male-dominated tradition of analytic philosophy, and the first woman to hold a Chair in Philosophy in Britain. This volume collects eleven new essays that explore central themes of Stebbing's philosophy: 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 counter-propaganda efforts; and her work in philosophical logic and the philosophy of language. The volume and its contributors seek both to reinstate Stebbing's place in the analytic tradition by examining her work in context and to highlight the continued relevance of her ideas to contemporary philosophy.
