Traditional and Analytical Philosophy
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-316-50889-3 (ISBN)
Ernst Tugendhat's major work, Vorlesungen zur Einführung in die sprachanalytische Philosophie (1976), was translated into English in 1982. Although trained in Heideggerian phenomenological and hermeneutical thinking, Tugendhat increasingly came to believe that the most appropriate approach to philosophy was an analytical one. This influential work grew from that conviction and brought new perspectives to some of the central and abiding questions of metaphysics and the philosophy of language. Presented in a fresh twenty-first-century series livery, and including a specially commissioned preface written by Hans-Johann Glock, illuminating its enduring importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, this impressive work has been revived for a new generation of readers.
Ernst Tugendhat was a Professor of Philosophy at the Free University of Berlin until his retirement in 1992. His many publications include Vorlesungen über Ethik (1993) and Ethics and Politics (1992). P. A. Gorner is an Honorary Senior Lecturer in the School of Divinity, History and Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen. His principal research interests lie in the areas of Heidegger, Kant and German Idealism.
