_Philosophical Investigations_, Quine's _Two Dogmas of Empiricism_, and Kuhn's _Structure_ are often cited as "the end," but I think it was already effectively over before those. Everyone had de facto given up, so at most it just needed a small final push to fall over.

Those were more like retrospective diagnoses of how and why it failed. But none of them was fully accurate, imo. It seems to have taken another half-century to get clear on it, and no one has written up a detailed contemporary understanding. Afaik.

The history of analytic philosophy after logical positivism could be described as the search to determine the maximal elements of its perspective that remain viable even after its failure. Which might be the wrong way to go about things.
