A Dictionary of Postmodern Terms
analytic philosophy
a currently dominant form of philosophy in the English speaking world. It maintains that philosophy is a (logical) analysis of concepts.  Analytic philosophers attempt to identify concepts that are the same in different languages (although, of course, expressed with different words).  See Quine  and Davidson .  Analytic philosophy has nothing to do with psychoanalysis.
