Abstract
Many philosophers affiliated with the analytic school contend that the history of philosophy is not relevant to their work. The present study challenges this claim by introducing a strong variant of the philosophical history of philosophy termed the “logical–contextual history of philosophy.” Its objective is to map the “logical geography” of the
concepts and theories of past philosophical masters, concepts and theories
that are not only genealogically, but also logically related. Such history
of philosophy cannot be set in opposition to the traditional “systematic
philosophy.” Rather, the logical–contextual history of philosophy is, like
the traditional school philosophies, systematic, although it develops along
different lines.
