And since these philosophers had important role in the history of analytic philosophy, some, pursuing the first group and relying on their idea, believed in an Anglo-Austrian version of analytic philosophy, and of course they confronted some opposition. Beside English philosophers, contribution to the analytic philosophy, they defend of Austrian philosophers, contribution to it, while their opponents defend of German philosophers, contribution instead. In addition to the Anglo-Austrian and Anglo-German versions of analytic philosophy, there is a third version, named Anglo-American version which because of its neglecting Austrian and German philosophers, contributions is not considerable. This paper aimed to express specifications of Austrian philosophy at the first, then to assess the Anglo-Austrian version of Analytic philosophy and some of criticisms against it.
