Springer - Friedrich Waismann: Causality and Logical Positivism

Explore the intellectual legacy of Friedrich Waismann through this volume from the Vienna Circle Institute Yearbook series. As a gifted student and collaborator of Moritz Schlick, Waismann held a unique position in the history of analytic philosophy. This work provides insight into his role as a primary discussion partner for Wittgenstein from 1927 onwards and his function as a spokesman for Wittgenstein's ideas within the Schlick Circle. This publication covers Waismann's journey from his early philosophical associations to his time at Oxford, where he served as a Reader in Philosophy of Mathematics and later Philosophy of Science. Readers will gain access to his independent contributions to analytic philosophy, making this an essential resource for those studying the development of logical positivism and the evolution of 20th-century philosophical thought. Published by Springer, this volume is a scholarly addition to any collection focused on the history of science and philosophy.
