To what extent is the “the story about the analytic turn” in philosophy a story about politics?
There’s been an increased discussion in recent years of externalist explanations of philosophy, and one such explanation that has gotten a fair amount of attention lately is the idea that McCarthyist anti-communism in the United States in the middle of the 20th Century played a significant role in analytic philosophy’s emerging dominance in the discipline at the time.
