The Routledge Handbook of Logical Empiricism
Sobre aquest llibre
The Routledge Handbook of Logical Empiricism is an outstanding reference source to this challenging subject area, and the first collection of its kind. Comprising 41 chapters written by an international and interdisciplinary team of contributors, the Handbook is organized into four clear parts:
- The Cultural, Scientific and Philosophical Context and the Development of Logical Empiricism
- Characteristic Theses of and Specific Issues in Logical Empiricism
- Relations to Philosophical Contemporaries
- Leading Post-Positivist Criticisms and Legacy
Essential reading for students and researchers in the history of twentieth-century philosophy, especially the history of analytical philosophy and the history of philosophy of science, the Handbook will also be of interest to those working in related areas of philosophy influenced by this important movement, including metaphysics and epistemology, philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.
