Analytic philosophy is the dominant academic philosophical movement in English-speaking countries and in the Nordic countries. Its main founders were the Cambridge philosophers G.E. Moore and Bertrand Russell. However, both were heavily influenced by the German philosopher and mathematician Gottlob Frege and many of analytic philosophy's leading proponents, such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rudolf Carnap, Kurt Gödel, Karl Popper, Hans Reichenbach, Herbert Feigl, Otto Neurath, and Carl Hempel have come from Germany and Austria. In Britain, Russell and Moore were succeeded by C. D. Broad, L. Stebbing, Gilbert Ryle, A. J. Ayer, R. B. Braithwaite, Paul Grice, John Wisdom, R. M. Hare, J. L. Austin, P. F. Strawson, William Kneale, G. E. M. Anscombe, and Peter Geach. In America, the movement was led by many of the above-named European emigres as well as Max Black, Ernest Nagel, C. L. Stevenson, Norman Malcolm, W. V. Quine, Wilfrid Sellars, and Nelson Goodman, while A. N. Prior, John Passmore, and J. J. C. Smart were prominent in Australasia.
Logic and philosophy of language were central strands of analytic philosophy from the beginning, although this dominance has diminished greatly. Several lines of thought originate from the early, language-and-logic part of this analytic philosophy tradition. These include: logical positivism, logical empiricism, logical atomism, logicism and ordinary language philosophy. Subsequent analytic philosophy includes extensive work in ethics (such as Philippa Foot, R. M. Hare, and J. L. Mackie), political philosophy (John Rawls, Robert Nozick), aesthetics (Monroe Beardsley, Richard Wollheim, Arthur Danto), philosophy of religion (Alvin Plantinga, Richard Swinburne), philosophy of language (David Kaplan, Saul Kripke, Richard Montague, Hilary Putnam, W.V.O. Quine, Nathan Salmon, John Searle), and philosophy of mind (Daniel Dennett, David Chalmers, Putnam). Analytic metaphysics has also recently come into its own (Kripke, David Lewis, Salmon, Peter van Inwagen, P.F. Strawson).

While translating a piece of (analytic) philosophy into Japanese can be pain in the ass, I would enjoy it.

@Parisonista Wittgenstein actually. He's analytic though. How about you? Have you ever studied analytic philosophy?
