G.F. Stout and the Psychological Origins of Analytic Philosophy

An investigatation of the influence of psychology and early phenomenology on the origins of analytic philosophy. This book is also of value for those interested in judgement, proposition, psychologism, logical realism, the problem of error, Gestalt theories, and tropes.

This book is one recent product of her work on this subject, which first saw light as a dissertation, then in a series of papers, and now appears in a revised and expanded version of her early work for the History of Analytic Philosophy series . The perspective van der Schaar brings here is a valuable addition to the detailed account of the early development of analytic philosophy at Cambridge.
