    作为一种运动，分析哲学自身有着各种不同的方法和理论主张。而统一这个运动的则是理性精神、对独断假设的怀疑以及追求严格的论证和自然科学模式的清晰性。分析哲学的主导是英美分析哲学，当代英美分析哲学注重审视分析哲学的性质、任务与范围，强调应用多元化的逻辑分析、语言分析与心灵哲学分析等方法。本中心主要关注当代英美分析哲学的发展，涉及的问题域主要包括语境论、语义学、隐喻、真理理论、意义理论、指称理论等。

    As a movement, analytic philosophy carries with itself a large variety of methods and doctrines. What unifies this movement is the spirit of the respect for the rationality, the suspicion of dogmatic assumption, and the pursuit of argumentative rigour and clarity on the model of the natural science. The dominant of analytic philosophy is the analysis of the Anglo-American philosophy. The contemporary analysis of Anglo-American philosophy examines the nature, task and scope of analytic philosophy, and stresses on applying a wide range of methods such as logic analysis, language analysis and mind analysis. The center mostly focus on the development of the contemporary analytic philosophy, involving the realm of problems such as contextualism, semantics, theory of truth, theory of meaning, theory of reference and so on.

    逻辑哲学是对逻辑进行的哲学反思，由现代逻辑的发展推动，也和数学基础研究、现代逻辑与现代哲学有密切的关系。该方向分为三个方面：（1）关于逻辑的哲学分析，如逻辑的性质、逻辑与非逻辑的划界、逻辑与其它学科的关系等；（2）对各种逻辑系统内所提出的问题作出哲学回答，如蕴涵与推理、有效性、悖论等；（3）对于逻辑和哲学的基本概念的精细分析，如名称与摹状词、意义、指称、真理等。

     The research on philosophy of logic is promoted by the development of modern logic, and it is closely related with the interaction among mathematics foundation research, modern logic and modern philosophy. Philosophy of logic is what rethinks philosophically on logic. From the perspectives of epistemology and ontology, the research on philosophy of logic involves three aspects:（1）philosophical analyses on logic, such as the nature of logic, the demarcation between logic and non-logic, the relation among logic and other disciplines, etc;（2）philosophical answers to problems from various logical systems, such as implication and inference, validity, paradox, etc.（3）elaborate analyses on basic concepts of logic and philosophy, such as names and descriptions, meaning, reference and truth, etc.
