| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xi, 430 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Cambridge companions to philosophy |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 09 Nov 2015). |
| Contents | The historical context of logical empiricism -- Logical empiricism: issues in general philosophy of science -- Logical empiricism and the philosophy of the special sciences -- Logical empiricism and its critics. |
| Summary | If there is a movement or school that epitomizes analytic philosophy in the middle of the twentieth century, it is logical empiricism. Logical empiricists created a scientifically and technically informed philosophy of science, established mathematical logic as a topic in and tool for philosophy, and initiated the project of formal semantics. Accounts of analytic philosophy written in the middle of the twentieth century gave logical empiricism a central place in the project. The second wave of interpretative accounts was constructed to show how philosophy should progress, or had progressed, beyond logical empiricism. The essays survey the formative stages of logical empiricism in central Europe and its acculturation in North America, discussing its main topics, and achievements and failures, in different areas of philosophy of science, and assessing its influence on philosophy, past, present, and future. |
