In English-speaking countries Victor Kraft is known principally for
his account of the Vienna Circle. ! That group of thinkers has
exercised in recent decades a significant influence not only on the
philosophy of the western world, but also, at least indirectly, on
that of the East, where there is now taking place a slow but
clearly irresistible erosion of dogmatic Marxism by ways of think
ing derived from a modem scientific conception of the world.
Kraft's work as historian of the Vienna Circle has led to his being
classed, without further qua1ification, as a neo-positivist
philosopher. It is, however, only partially correct to count him as
such. To be sure, he belonged to the group named, he took part in
its meetings, and he drew from it suggestions central to his own
work; but he did not belong to the hard core of the Circle and was
a con scious opponent of certain radical tendencies espoused, at
least from time to time, by some of its members. Evidence of this
is provided by the theory of value now presented in English
translation, since no less a thinker than Rudolf Carnap had,
originally at any rate, obeyed a very narrowly conceived criterion
of sense and declared value judgements to be senseless.
