Carl Gustav Hempel (1905-97) was one of the preeminent figures in
the philosophical movement of logical empiricism. He was a member
of both the Berlin and Vienna circles, fled Germany in 1934 and
finally settled in the US where he taught for many years in New
York, Princeton, and Pittsburgh. The essays in this collection come
from the early and late periods of Hempel's career and chart his
intellectual odyssey from a rigorous commitment to logical
positivism in the 1930s (when Hempel allied himself closely with
Carnap) to a more sociological approach close in spirit to the work
of Neurath and Kuhn. The collection brings together essays which
have up till now been difficult to find, four of which are
appearing in English for the first time. Cumulatively they offer a
fresh perspective on Hempel's intellectual development and on the
rise and demise of logical empiricism.
