Between ‘A Brief History of Analytic Philosophy: From Russell to Rawls’ and ‘Logico-Philosophicus Serial Booklet’

Abstract

This short article is a three-part exchange note with Professor Stephen P. Schwartz to explicate the connectivity between his 2012 book ‘A Brief History of Analytic Philosophy: from Russell to Rawls’ (‘A Brief History’ hereafter) and the ‘Logico-Philosophicus Serial Booklet’ (LPSB). content of the note is arranged in an order reciprocally so as to address the disappointment of Russell towards the studies in philosophy as quoted in ‘A Brief History’s book review by Professor Aaron Preston (quoted by us in the beginning of the note). purpose of the note is to furnish interest in those three newly-completed articles of LPSB on Philosophy of Language and Logic, Philosophy of Phenomenology and Classic Axioms in Science respectively. serial booklet, in our opinion, is the definite resolution to the ‘Dismay’ that had been run into by many greatest philosophical minds in history. ingenious thought ‘On denoting’ by Bertrand Russell at 1905 that tried to seek a proper way of interpreting ‘definite description’ is the point from which this straight right line which spans one hundred and eight years in exact was drawn. Abstract for The meaning of ‘Being Like’ as to bond the unlikely in bond: This short article is the third exchange note with Professor Stephen P. Schwartz to discuss the solution to Lewis Carroll’s famous riddle ‘Why a rave is like a writing desk?’, which was provided by the author in the first exchange note of this sequence “Between ‘A Brief History of Analytic Philosophy: from Russell to Rawls’ and the ‘Logico-Philosophicus Serial Booklet’”. beauty of those three comments and questions raised and threaded as so by Professor Schwartz is: • They all tightly center around the same issue: the meaning of ‘being like’; • They all closely correspond to and relate with the most basic and fundamental issues in Philosophy of Language and Logic, Philosophy of Phenomenology and Analytic Philosophy; • insights uncovered by them lead to our understanding of how such a meaningful and logical world come into being to us because of and due to Philosophy of Language and Logic and Analytic Philosophy. The content of the article is arranged according to the original order of the comments raised by Professor Schwartz in his correspondence with the author on April 30th, 2013. In the end, we give answers to three additional Bond the Unlikely in Bond cases: Why is Martin Heidegger like Ludwig Wittgenstein? Why is Georg Cantor like Euclid? Why is Isaac Newton like Gottlob Frege?
