Sažetak
Even among the most prominent analytic philosophers there has often been a puzzling contrast between their usual rigor, sophistication and very careful argumentation, as displayed in their philosophical writings, and surprisingly sloppy thinking and poor judgment, as occasionally manifested in their statements about political issues. It is notable that such ill-considered excursions into politics are typically characterized by a strong leftist bias. This curious phenomenon will be illustrated with episodes that involve a number of big names in analytic philosophy, from the era of logical positivism up until contemporary times.
