  1. Analytic Philosophy: The History of an Illusion, London and New York: Continuum, 2007.  

See the flyer, where people say nice things about my book:  book-flyer.doc

Here’s a review at NDPR.  It is critical of my conclusions (no surprise there), but is even-handed and does a good job of summarizing my overall argument.  All the same, I do think the citicisms are mainly wrong-headed, so here’s a response to some of them: response-to-larkins-ndpr-review.doc
