Drawing on extensive archival materials, it traces the conflicted reception of their ideas--at once hailed as a model of scientific clarity and yet condemned as a sterile and reductive approach to philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than treating logical positivism as a purely European export, this book argues that it was a product of transatlantic exchange. It reconstructs the rise of an American network of scientists and philosophers whose ideas were defined by twentieth-century revolutions in logic and modern physics; and it shows how their encounters with European émigrés helped shape a new 'analytic' style of philosophy that has dominated the field ever since. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining narrative reconstruction with innovative digital humanities methods, this book illuminates the intellectual, institutional, and cultural conditions that enabled logical positivism's ascent. It offers a fresh perspective on the history of U.S. philosophy, showing how a movement defined by global crises and intellectual controversy became engrained in American thought and philosophical practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sander Verhaegh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197537960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197537961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sander Verhaegh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49084112339199,"sku":"9780197537961","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/logical-positivism-sander-verhaegh-9780197537961","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
