The idea for this issue arose during a gathering of scholars to com
memorate the hundredth anniversary of Moritz Schlick (1882-1936),
the philosopher from Germany whose influence gave Austria its most
characteristic philosophical voice between the two world wars. He
was cut off, tragically, in his prime and while he escaped the
exile that awaited most of those who thought like him, he was
unable (sadly for philosophy) to continue to steer their thoughts
in his own direction and he even lost some of the credit for work
already done. Thus it seemed to some of his former pupils and to
others more remote from him in the tra dition that a small
collection of papers throwing light on his especial con tribution
and on the extent to which it is still active or still needed today
was a requirement of justice no less than of piety. Tscha Hung, a
mem ber of the Vienna Circle and since director of the Institute
for Western Philosophy at Peking University, was the chief mover
here. Also among the contributors, Ludovico Geymonat (Professor at
Milan) was a visitor to the Circle and a friend of Schlick. Henrich
Melzer and Joseph Schlichter were Viennese pupils of Schlick's. The
former died in the war of 1939-45, the latter is still prominent in
the cultural and educational life of Israel."
