British Philosophy in the Mid-Century: A Cambridge Symposium

First published in 1957, reissuing the second edition of 1966 here, British Philosophy in the Mid-Century provides an authoritative review of some of the outstanding developments in British philosophy at the time. The papers included here had their origin in a course of lectures at Cambridge arranged by the British Council, but many of the contributions have been revised and extended to present the latest views of the authors.

Of outstanding interest is a contribution written especially for this volume by G.E. Moore who has exercised so profound an influence not only on the theory of the subject with which this paper is concerned but also on the whole course of philosophical thought in Britain and elsewhere.

This new edition contains, in addition to 'Postscripts' by many of the contributors, two papers on the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein by Alice Ambrose and Morris Lazerowitz.
