Husserl, Cassirer, Schlick: 'Scientific Philosophy' Between Phenomenology, Neo-Kantianism and Logical Empiricism (Tuebingen, November 23-25, 2012)

摘要

Since the late nineteenth century 'Scientific Philosophy' has become a label ascribed to many research programs. German theoretical philosophy of the early twentieth century was . dominated by three different trends-Phenomenology, Neo-Kantianism, and Logical Empiricism: Each trend claimed to represent the 'Scientific Philosophy'. In this context it is astonishing that we know almost nothing about the relationships between these schools. It is true, all of them rejected the speculative metaphysics found, for example, in German Idealism, but knowledge about other connections is scarce. Starting with the question what exactly 'Scientific Philosophy' means and how these meanings relate to each other, a thorough investigation of the connections between all three trends has yet to take place.
