| Description | This chapter examines the kinds of expectations derived from analytic philosophy that may influence how interprets Russell and reinforces conceptions of analytic philosophy. Analytic philosophers are frequently described as approaching philosophical problems "piecemeal" and seeing progress in terms of narrow, well-defined philosophical problems that "need not be tied to any overarching philosophical view". Russell, to proceed "piecemeal" is to work within and successively refines an overarching philosophical view: a philosophy is first assumed and then analysis is used to refine it. Doctrines that result from analysis are folded back into the philosophy, where they reshape it and add detail. If we expect a philosophical theory to come after the work of analysis, Russell's procedure may be misunderstood. The atomist philosophy just described then proceeds to evolve piecemeal throughout the rest of Russell's career. Before illustrating how his entire philosophical theory, both method and substance, progresses "piecemeal", another important use Russell makes of the term "piecemeal" should be mentioned briefly.
