Abstract

The normal idea about analytic philosophy is that it is of an English- American origin, and its founders are Russell and Moore. Michael Dummett considers Germany to be the real origin of analytic philosophy, and Frege to be its founder. That is because philosophical analysis is nothing more than an analysis of THOUGHT through language, and this is exactly what Frege suggested for the first time. Dummett believes that by proposing the theory of "linguistic turn" in his works such as The Foundation of Arithmetic and Begriffsschrift, Frege prompted a change of epistemic question from THOUGHT-things relation to that of language-MEANING. The Basis of this theory is the "context principle", in which a word is MEANINGful only in the context of a sentence; which in turn, means that THOUGHTs are transformed in sentences, and speaking of the structure of THOUGHT is to speak of the semantic relation between the components of a sentence. Such an approach by Frege triggered the appearance of analytic philosophy; although other German-speaking thinkers such as Bolzano, Meinong, and especially Husserl (with his theory of "intentionality") had their share too.
