Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Analytic philosophy refers to a school of philosophy that grew in England during the early part of the twentieth century, thanks to thinkers such as Bertrand Russell and G.E. Moore. Analytical philosophy is so-called because of its focus on logical clarification, an analysis of logic itself, and the positing of logical problems. Analytical philosophy, in contrast to so-called Continental philosophy, also rejects grand sweeping philosophical systems or theories and focuses on the small details of philosophical problems.
