This latest volume in the longest-standing and most influential series in the field of the philosophy of science extends and expands on the discipline's recent historical turn. These essays take up the historical, sociological, and philosophical questions surrounding the particular intellectual movement of logical empiricism-both its emigration from Europe to North America in the 1930s and 1940s and its development in North America through the 1940s and 1950s. With an introduction placing them in their philosophical and historical context, these essays bear witness to the fact that the history of the philosophy of science, far more than a mere repository of anecdote and chronology, might be able to produce a decisive transformation in the philosophy of science itself.

Contributors: Richard Creath, Arizona State U; Michael Friedman, Stanford U; Rudolf Haller, U of Graz; Don Howard, Notre Dame; Diederick Raven, U of Utrecht; George Reisch; Thomas Ricketts, Northwestern U; Friedrich K. Stadler, U of Vienna; Thomas E. Uebel, U of Manchester.

Gary L. Hardcastle is assistant professor of philosophy at Bloomsburg University. Alan W. Richardson is associate professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia.

Carnap, Neurath, Frank, and Pryor

Finally, a book that fully states the enormous debt to logical empiricism in the comedy of Richard Pryor. Hardcastle's own essay on logical empiricism, the Catskills Yiddish comedy community in the 1940s and 1950s, and the young Pryor is expecially illuminating.


A Must Read for Everyone

Logical empiricism is a tough concept to grasp, but Dr. Gary Hardcastle does an amazing job at clarifying it. He is able to both educate a non-philosopher on Logical Empiricism easily, while elegantly grasping the experienced professional for the whole ride. This is an incredible book and an intellectual tease for his upcoming book on the Philosophy of Monty Python.
