'Stewart Candlish is a philosopher whose work has brought him wide recognition, both in Australia and internationally. He has contributed to areas in the philosophy of the mind, such as the debate on mental imagery, but his most sustained and important work is in the history of 20th century philosophy. His work on Wittgenstein’s Investigations has shown that standard accounts of that work are often very misleading. His work on Bradley and Russell has done much to debunk the orthodox account of the rise of analytical philosophy. He has held visiting research positions at Cambridge and the Australian National University, was President of the Australasian Association of Philosophy 2004-2005; Editor of Australasian Journal of Philosophy 2007-2013.; author of The Bradley/Russell Dispute and its Significance for Twentieth-Century Philosophy (Palgrave Macmillan 2007, 2nd edn 2009); Editorial Board member of the journal Philosophy Compass, of the Palgrave Macmillan book series History of Analytic Philosophy, and of the Routledge book series Wittgenstein's Thought and Legacy.'
