It covers the remarkable period of discovery that began with the publication of Frege's \u003ci\u003eBegriffsschrift\u003c\/i\u003e in 1879 and ended with Ramsey's death in 1930. Potter--one of the most influential scholars of this period in philosophy--presents a deep but accessible account of the break with absolute idealism and neo-Kantianism, and the emergence of approaches that exploited the newly discovered methods in logic. Like his subjects, Potter focusses principally on philosophical logic, philosophy of mathematics, and metaphysics, but he also discusses epistemology, meta-ethics, and the philosophy of language. The book is an essential starting point for any student attempting to understand the work of Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, and Ramsey, as well as their interactions and their larger intellectual milieux. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to cast light on current philosophical problems through a better understanding of their origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Potter\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Logic at Cambridge University, UK, and a Life Fellow of Fitzwilliam College.
