Wolfgang Stegmuller was born on June 3rd, 1923, at Natters near
Innsbruck. He received his doctorates in economics and philosophy
in 1945 and 1947 respectively, and his qualification (Habilitation)
for lecturing in philosophy in 1949. He has been Professor of
Philosophy, Logic, and Philosophy of Science at the Ludwig
Maximilian University at Munich since 1958. He reintroduced
analytic philosophy and philosophy of science in Germany by
teaching and by publishing both introductory texts and research
work in these areas; the present understanding of the term
"Wissenschaftstheorie" is largely shaped by his work. At the same
time he has shown a remarkable ability to interpret philosophical
work in other areas of philosophy, even when that work is shaped by
different premises and proceeds by very different methods and
standards of clarity than his own. He is one of the very few
philosophers in the world to have succeeded in creating an
important new line of research in technical philosophy while
keeping a synoptic view of what is transpiring in philosophy as a
whole. Among Stegmuller's major publications are the books
Hauptstromungen der Gegenwartsphilosophie, Metaphysik,
Wissenschaft, Skepsis, Probleme und Resultate der
Wissenschaftstheorie und Analytischen Philosophie, The Struc
turalist View of Theories, and Rationale Rekonstruktion von
Wissenschaft und ihrem Wandel (which contains an "Autobiographische
Einleitung"). Some of these books have been translated into English
and Spanish."

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.
Carl G. Hempel (1905-1997) was one of the preeminent figures in the philosophical movement of logical empiricism. The essays in this collection come from the early and late periods of Hempel's career. Most of these essays are hard to track down and four of them 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. Richard Jeffrey has prepared the collection for publication, and has supplied introductory surveys to the essays as well as a brief biographical sketch of Hempel.
"These sixteen essays by Arnold Isenberg "bring wide-ranging
connoiseurship, intricate analysis, and epigrammatic literacy to
bear on a number of glib and fuzzy oppositions between form and
content, description and interpretation, perception and meaning,
technique and substance, and belief and expression, articulating
provocative strategies for illuminating the canon of the arts and
the organ of criticism. . . . Any thoughtful lover of the arts
could read this book with profit and inspiration."--"Choice"
Hempel (1905-1997) was one of the most influential philosophers of science in the 20th century, along with Thomas Kuhn and Sir Karl Popper. His work defined the central problems of the field and its proper methods of investigation. By presenting an analytical and historical introduction and a comprehensive bibliography together with a selection of many of Carl G. Hempel's most important studies, this volume provides an ideal opportunity for students and scholars to appreciate the enduring contributions of one of the most important philosophers of science of the 20th century.
