These articles challenge the idea that logical empiricism has its origins in traditional British empiricism, pointing instead to a movement of scientific philosophy that flourished in the German-speaking areas of Europe in the first four decades of the twentieth century. The intellectual refugees from the Third Reich who brought logical empiricism to North America did so in an environment influenced by Einstein's new physics, the ascension of modern logic, the birth of the social sciences as rivals to traditional humanistic philosophy, and other large-scale social, political, and cultural themes.

しばらく前に出た本。この本の中のいくつかの論文はcopyして持っているが、最近Carnapに若干興味を持つようになり、改めて目次を見てみると、どれもこれも読みたい論文ばかりである。まだ手に入るようなので注文しておく。
