Reviews

Sanford Shieh has made a major contribution to our understanding of the origins of analytic philosophy. This big book is densely argued, full of surprising insights about topics where he finds that common opinions are just wrong.... One after another, he overturns our facile accounts of the origins of analytic philosophy, and finds other stories hidden in plain view in familiar texts. Each time Shieh argues with precision and care to his conclusion, with deft movement through detail, as we wait for the conclusion to come down on our head.... I'm keenly awaiting the appearance of Volume II of Shieh's monumental work. In the meantime, there is much to digest in the many riches in Volume I. * Bernard Linsky, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
