Welcome to the hist-analytic web site! Although still in its early stages the creation of this site is an attempt at bringing together resources useful to historians of analytical philosophy. Some of these files are long and difficult to read online. If you have difficulty viewing the file, you very often download the page for offline viewing by going to File and then Save. Let us begin with a statement of the purpose of hist-analytic.

HIST-ANALYTIC ARCHIVE
For those who would like to help out Hist-Analytic, I've included a link to my new book on Anscombe. The book attempts to put Anscombe's work in historical perspective, drawing from seldom cited sources, such as articles and books by Reichenbach, Davidson, Chisholm, Wm. James, Kripke and others. This not only an exmination of her main work, Intention, but includes detailed accounts of her views on causation and determinism.
