The rhetoric of analytic philosophy: The making of the analytic hegemony in Swedish 20th century philosophy (original) (raw)

The paper explores the evolution and establishment of analytic philosophy in Sweden during the 20th century, detailing how it developed into a dominant intellectual tradition. It challenges the common skepticism towards philosophical labels, arguing instead for their significance in understanding the historical context and rhetorical strategies that shaped the analytic movement. By examining the interplay of names and definitions used by philosophers, it uncovers how these labels both reflected and influenced philosophical identity and community, contributing to the hegemony of analytic philosophy in Swedish thought.
