Schuringa's 2025 book A Social History of Analytic Philosophy narrates the suppression of radical politics within American academic philosophy during and after the era of McCarthyism.^[5] Kieran Setiya was critical of the book's thesis that analytic philosophy is inherently conservative.^[6] Jacobin associate editor Nick French considered its argument that empiricist epistemology acts as an ideological defense of capitalism to be impressionistic and unpersuasive, and added that analytic philosophy's attention to "conceptual distinctions ... regimented argument and ... individual experience" would be valuable for the left to adopt.^[7]
