Rudolf Carnap (1891-1970) and Otto Neurath (1882-1945) decisively determined the development of the scientific world view of logical empiricism. The contributions to this volume illuminate from different perspectives the intricate relations between these two key thinkers.

Rudolf Carnap (1891-1970) and Otto Neurath (1882-1945) had a decisive influence on the development of the scientific world view of logical empiricism. Their relationship was marked by mutual intellectual stimulation, close collaboration, and personal friendship, but also by controversies that were as heated as they were rarely fought out in public. Carnap and Neurath were, in the words of Olga Hahn-Neurath, "like-minded opponents". The essays in this volume deal with these key thinkers of logical empiricism from different perspectives, shedding light on the complex development of one of the most influential philosophical currents of the twentieth century in the midst of dark times.

Christian Damböck, University of Vienna, is a researcher on the History of Philosophy of Science. He has published on the philosophy of Rudolf Carnap and other topics related to the Vienna Circle. Johannes Friedl, University of Graz, is a researcher with a focus on the Vienna Circle. He has co-edited two volumes of the Moritz-Schlick-Gesamtausgabe and has published a monograph and several articles on that topic. Ulf Höfer, University of Graz, has co-edited five volumes of Otto Neurath's Schriften. He works on 19th- and 20th-century Austrian philosophy and is in charge of the archive and collections of the Forschungsstelle für österreichische Philosophie, Graz.
