This open access volume is based on the 'Early Carnap in Context' workshop that took place in Konstanz in 2017 and looks at Rudolf Carnap's philosophy, documented in his recently released diaries, from a combination of historical, cultural and philosophical perspectives. It enables further evaluation of the diaries and traces newly found interrelationships and their systematic definition. From a cultural and historical point of view, Logical Empiricism and Carnap's pivotal opus, The Logical Structure of the World, did not evolve in a vacuum. This applies equally in a history of philosophy context as well as under consideration of contemporary historical and cultural influences such as the socio-cultural setting in Vienna and Prague, the correlation between Logical Empiricism and Bauhaus modernism, the connection to the Life Reform Movement or the Youth Movement with its own life philosophy. Pursuing Carnap's progression on a micro level of history and referring the results back to Carnap's philosophy is now facilitated by recent access to his Diaries from 1908-1935. These shorthand records, reading lists, travel reports and notes constitute a valuable source for the research of networks and social movements which left their mark on him.
This volume offers 11 papers that cover the wide spectrum of influences on Rudolf Carnap's seminal work, Der Logische Aufbau der Welt (The Logical Structure of the World). Along the way, it covers a host of topics related to this important philosophical work, including logic, theories of order, science, hermeneutics, and mathematics in the Aufbau, as the work is commonly termed. The book uncovers the influences of such neglected figures as Gerhards, Driesch, Ziehen, and Ostwald. It also presents new evidence on influences of well-known figures in philosophy, including Husserl, Rickert, Schlick, and Neurath. In addition, the book offers comparisons of the Aufbau with the work of contemporary scientists such as Weyl and Wiener as well as features new archival findings on the early Carnap.This book will appeal to researchers and students with an interest in the history and philosophy of science, history of analytic philosophy, the philosophy of the Vienna Circle, and the philosophy in interwar Germany and Austria.

This book studies how the relationship between philosophy, morality, politics, and science was conceived in the Vienna Circle and how this group of philosophers tried to position science as an antidote to totalitarianism and irrationalism. This leads to investigation of the still understudied views of the Vienna Circle on moral philosophy, meta-ethics, and the relationship between philosophy of science and politics. Including papers from an international group of scholars, The Socio-ethical Dimension of Knowledge: The Mission of Logical Empiricism addresses these topics and makes them available to scholars in the field of history of philosophy of science.
This open-access book is the first to investigate the roots of Logical Empiricism in the context of the Life Reform and the German Youth Movements. Rudolf Carnap and Hans Reichenbach are the key protagonists; they both belonged to the German Youth Movement and developed their early philosophical views in this setting. By combining scholarly essays with unpublished and hard to access manuscripts, letters, and articles, this volume recasts our understanding of the early years of Logical Empiricism.

Der Band versammelt einen Grossteil der Beitrage, die internationale Experten anlasslich der Tagung "Philosophie und Wissenschaft bei Hermann Cohen" im November 2014 am Institut Wiener Kreis der Universitat Wien prasentiert haben. Mit der Tagung zu Hermann Cohen (1842 - 1918), der zusammen mit Paul Natorp die Marburger Schule begrundete, wurden zwei Ziele verfolgt: erstens die Aspekte in der Philosophie des Kantianers Cohen herauszuarbeiten, die an die Idee einer Einheitswissenschaft anknupfen und zweitens Divergenzen und UEbereinstimmungen Cohens mit der wissenschaftlichen Weltauffassung, der Programmatik des Wiener Kreises um Rudolf Carnap und Moritz Schlick zu identifizieren. Der Tagungsband ist in drei Teile gegliedert. Die Aufsatze im ersten Teil beschaftigen sich mit der Bedeutung von Erfahrung und Empirismus fur das Philosophieverstandnis Hermann Cohens. Im zweiten Teil gehen die Autoren der Frage nach, welche Rolle Theorien aus den Bereichen Mathematik, Naturwissenscha ften und Psychologie fur Cohens Denken gespielt haben - unter anderem Hermann von Helmholtz' Theorie des Messens und die Bedeutung der Infinitesimalrechnung fur die Philosophie der Marburger Schule. Die Beitrage im dritten Teil des Bandes stellen die Philosophie Cohens und der Marburger Schule den Vertretern des Wiener Kreises und der Berliner Gruppe um Hans Reichenbach gegenuber. Dabei wird Reichenbachs Rezeption der Relativitatstheorie in den Kontext einer Relativierung Kants bei Cohen und Ernst Cassirer gestellt und "versteckte Verwandtschaften" zwischen Cohen und dem Logischen Empirismus aufgedeckt. Der Band richtet sich an Wissenschaftler auf dem Gebiet der Geschichte der Philosophie.
Die hier deutscher Empirismus genannte Tradition umfasst als Schlusselfiguren Wilhelm Dilthey und Hermann Cohen. Das Empirische am deutschen Empirismus liegt nicht in den "Sinnesdaten", sondern im abstrakten Bereich von Geist und Kultur. Die wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen auf die sich deutsche Empiristen stutzen sind primar (wenn auch ohne Ausklammerung der fur die theoretische Philosophie grundlegend wichtigen Naturwissenschaften) die Geisteswissenschaften. Das zeigt sich insbesondere in der von den hier diskutierten Autoren vorangetriebenen geisteswissenschaftlichen Grundlagendisziplin der beschreibenden Psychologie . Theoretische Philosophie dient im deutschen Empirismus stets bestimmten praktischen (ethischen, asthetischen und politischen) Zielsetzungen und erhalt nur dadurch ihre Rechtfertigung. Rudolf Carnap passt insofern in dieses Bild als auch er, vor allem in seinem Fruhwerk, von Ideen deutscher Empiristen ausgegangen ist. Carnap erlaubt uns zu sehen, wie diese Ideen in einer Zeit des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts erhalten geblieben sind, in der die Philosophie ansonsten eher "auf den eisigen Firnen der Logik ein zuruckgezogenes Dasein" zu fuhren begann. Uljana Feest (Leibniz Universitat Hannover) : "Deutscher Empirismus legt eine eigenwillige neue Achse durch die Philosophiegeschichte des deutschsprachigen 19. Jahrhunderts. Entgegen der herrschenden Meinung, dass die deutschsprachige akademische Philosophie in den mittleren 40 Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts weitgehend zum Erliegen kam und sich erst ab ca. 1870 wieder zu erholen begann, argumentiert Damboeck, dass ab ca. 1830 im Gegenteil eine vielversprechende, ja 'fortschrittliche' (wenn auch heute weitgehend vergessene), philosophische Tradition entstand. Die Arbeit zeichnet sich durch ein feines Gespur fur die historiographischen Fallstricke des vorgelegten Argumentes aus. Man hat von Anfang an das Gefuhl, es hier mit einem Autor zu tun zu haben, der den ungeheuren Material- und Detailreichtum der von ihm gewahlten philosophiehistorischen Epoche souveran beherrscht." Massimo Ferrari (Universitat Turin): "Deutscher Empirismus bildet einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Erforschung der deutschen Philosophie. Es handelt sich um eine sehr eingehende Analyse, die auf ausfuhrlichen Quellenuntersuchungen beruht und zugleich innovative systematische Ansatze konturiert." Lydia Patton (Virginia Tech): "Deutscher Empirismus demonstrates a profound knowledge of nineteenth and early twentieth century philosophy and science. The work promises to inform and to inspire research in the field, and I have little doubt that it will do so."
