| Summary: | Philosophers of religion of the Cracow Circle (1934-1944) are the principal precursors of what is now called the analytic philosophy of religion. The widespread claim that the analytic philosophy of religion was from the beginning an Anglo-American affair is an ill-informed one. It is demonstrable that the enterprise, although not the label analytic philosophy of religion, appeared in Poland in the 1930s. Józef Bochenskis post-war work is a development of the Cracow Circles pre-war work in the analytic philosophy of religion, or at least of important elements of that earlier work. Bochenskis approach in his Logic of Religion is quite original and might still be profitably studied and discussed by philosophers of religion of the analytic persuasion. |
