Since the global turn towards right-wing populism, and the undoing of the grounds of ""fact"" through artificial intelligence, it is crucial to analyze analytics as socio-politically produced. Otherwise, its certainties preach to the choir, whereas our anthropocentric world goes its own violent way toward self-annihilation. Schuringa's book is an invaluable resource in this revolution in critical thinking. -- Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, author of <i>Outside in the Teaching Machine</i> Christoph Schuringa's A Social History of Analytic Philosophy achieves the impossible: while it follows a clear line of interpretation - analytic philosophy is not politically neutral, it is deeply rooted in capitalist liberalism and its struggle against Leftist engagement -, it develops this line in a vast and complex narrative full of fascinating historical and personal details, from the Oxford beginnings of analytic thought (Russell, Moore) through the key role of analytic philosophy in McCarthy purges up to how analytic approach was crucial in including anti-colonial and feminist orientations into the liberal frame (Appiah). Schuringa's book is unputdownable - applied to it, this term is not a cliché but a simple description of its effect on a reader. -- Slavoj Zizek
