Neurath reconsidered
new sources and perspectives
Abstract
This highly readable book is a collection of critical papers on Otto Neurath (1882-1945). It comprehensively re-examines Neurath's scientific, philosophical and educational contributions from a range of standpoints including historical, sociological and problem-oriented perspectives. Leading Neurath scholars disentangle and connect Neurath's works, ideas and ideals and evaluate them both in their original socio-historical context and in contemporary philosophical debates. Readers will discover a new critical understanding. The book includes the edited 1940-45 Neurath-Carnap correspondence and the English translation of Neurath's logic papers.
