Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This treatise analyzes the origins of some of the most fundamental philosophical problems that have beset philosophers in English-speaking countries in this century. Philosophers, it hypothesizes, are treating symptoms of philosophical ills whose causes lie buried in history. Substantial linguistic hurdles now block access to Gottlob Frege's thought and so to the nature of Bertrand Russell's. Misleading translations of key concepts like intention, content, presentation, idea, meaning and concept have severed analytical philosophy from its roots.
