Abstract: The studies of analytic philosophy has lasted for over a century in China. In the past four decades, Chinese scholars achieved many accomplishments in the studies of analytic philosophy such as a more complete introduction to and analysis of the theoretic relationship between different thoughts with their own perspectives in the studies of analytic philosophy. More active international exchanges between Chinese scholars with their international peers were also initiated and promoted, and their analytic approach has been applied to the studies of Chinese philosophy as well. Furthermore, Chinese scholars developed their own research approaches and put forward thought-provoking problems in the studies of analytic philosophy. However, Chinese scholars are also confronted with challenges in how to appropriately deal its relationships with Marxist philosophy and classic Chinese philosophy, and its relationships to the Western traditional and contemporary philosophies, which will actually be the future focus for the studies of analytic philosophy in China.

Key words: analytic philosophy, Chinese philosophy, analytic philosophy in China
