Reply to comment by AppleBevom in Analytic philosophy, the hegemonic branch of the discipline in the US, often thinks of itself as above history and politics. But its rise, and its enduring influence, are owed to McCarthyism, which purged radicals from postwar philosophy. by matthewharlow

I think the explanatory ambitions of a lot of contemporary analytic philosophy are misplaced, and I am more sympathetic to old time analytic philosophy (Frege, early and late Wittgenstein).
