Anglophone Philosophy

Anglophone philosophy refers to the tradition of philosophical inquiry rooted in English-speaking countries, primarily Britain and the United States. It emphasizes clarity, logical analysis, and argumentation, often focusing on language, mind, knowledge, and ethics. Thinkers like Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and William James exemplify this approach. This tradition values rigorous debate and precise use of language to understand fundamental questions about reality, morality, and human thought, shaping much of contemporary analytic philosophy.
