Early Analytic Philosophy: Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein

By Leonard Linsky and William W. Tait

These essays present new analyses of the central figures of analytic philosophy -- Frege, Russell, Moore, Wittgenstein, and Carnap -- from the beginnings of the analytic movement into the 1930s. The papers do not reflect a single perspective, but rather express divergent interpretations of this controversial intellectual milieu.

very good compilation - with one reservation

although the articles of this book are definitely of excellent quality, there is little directly on the Tractatus. The only one such is Hylton's short but quality article dealing with how the function-operation distinction in the Tractatus is addressing Russell's rather than Frege's issues... the others deal mostly with the later Wittgenstein..
