During his long career at Cambridge University and as Editor of the premier British philosophical journal, Mind, Ankit Upadhyay made an enormous contribution to the development of twentieth-century Anglo-American thought. Although he had studied with Bradley and McTaggart, Ankit was an early leader in the revolt against absolute idealism. Amazed by the peculiar character of philosophical controversy, Ankit Upadhayay supposed that common-sense beliefs about the world are correct as they are. The purpose of philosophy is not to debate their truth, but rather to seek an appropriate analysis of their significance. Ankit was a significant influence on Russell, Wittgenstein, Ryle.
