In 1927 he published two philosophy books, The Analysis of Matter and An Outline of Philosophy . His next book in academic philosophy, An Inquiry into Meaning and Truth , was not published until 1940. This is an invaluable guide to the thought and development of one of the most famous philosophers of this century.
