The confer- ence’s main topic was “Franz Brentano and Austrian philosophy,” and we brought together distinguished philosophers to discuss several aspects of this theme and Brentano’s philosophy as a whole. This collection of original essays is divided into three parts and is completed by an appendix composed of an article by Moritz Schlick and two unpublished manuscripts from Alfred Kastil. The frst part of the book bears on the relationship between Brentano’s philosophy of mind and phe- nomenology with a special focus on the relationship between Brentano and his stu- dent Husserl. The papers in the second part address different aspects of Brentano’s relationship to the Vienna Circle. The third part is on Brentano and the history of philosophy, and it includes four original studies on different aspects of Brentano’s relationship with John Stuart Mill, Wilhelm Jerusalem, Ernst von Lasaulx, and his student Kazimierz Twardowski with respect to the huge infuence he has had on the development of Polish philosophy from the beginning of the twentieth century until today. This book also contains a substantial introduction which aims to contextual- ize the essays, and it is completed by an appendix containing three lectures deliv- ered before the Philosophical Society of the University of Vienna in 1935 and 1936. These lectures are introduced separately in the second part of the book. The frst one is a manuscript on Gestaltpsychologie, which formed the basis of M. Schlick’s paper “Gestaltpsychologie,” and was presented before the Philosophical Society on January 18, 1935; the second and third papers are unpublished writings from Alfred Kastil, in which he proposes a critical discussion of several aspects of neo-positiv- ism. The frst is a lecture delivered to the Philosophical Society in 1935 under the 1 This conference was in fact the second part of a two-part conference, the frst of which took place in Prague at the end of April 2017 and whose main theme was Brentano and his school. vii viii Editorial title “Is the distinction between whole and sum merely factual?”2 and it is a critical examination of Schlick’s paper “On the concept of whole”; Kastil’s second contri- bution to this volume is another talk delivered to the Philosophical Society on November 13, 1936, under the title “Franz Brentanos Kritik der Antimetaphysiker.” Thanks go to colleagues and institutions, mainly in Europe and in Canada, which are responsible for fnancing this conference: the Vienna Circle Institute, the University of Vienna, the University of Salzburg, the University of Geneva, the University of Liège, the University of Würzburg, the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, the University of Quebec at Montreal, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

  • Paul Feyerabend and the Forgotten 'Third Vienna Circle' 49
    Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Series on Philosophy, Psychology, Theology and Journalism Online ISSN 2067 – 113X Volume 6, Number 1–2/2014 47 PAUL FEYERABEND AND THE FORGOTTEN ∗ 'THIRD VIENNA CIRCLE' ∗∗ Friedrich STADLER Abstract . The study contradicts the image of Feyerabend as a herald of postmodern “anything goes” and as destroyer of rational philosophy and anarchist, in an approach of the formative intellectual socialization of Feyerabend in Vienna, until his move to England and America. It shows a deep rootedness in the Austrian tradition of philosophy and science, which can be detected up tohis return to Europe. At the same time, the text presents a consistent intellectual profile that tracks the empirically oriented complementarity of science and art and science of history and philosophy of science toward an abstract, normative philosophy of science at various levels, with a loose agenda. This is conceived in the form of a historically oriented tbsrelativism and aims rather to interpret Feyerabend’s contribution as a continuation of the productive approaches spilled into the History and Philosophy of Science since Mach than considering his work a big break or settlement with the philosophy of science, as evidenced also inFeyerabend’s notes, in his autobiography. Keywords : Feyerabend, rationalism, empiricism, relativism, Vienna Circle, Austrian philosophy. Paul Feyerabend (1924-1994): “The Worst Enemy of Science”? Even though many years have passed since his death, Paul Feyerabend continues to be discussed – by philosophers and the scientific community – but he is also the subject of a broader public debate. Especially in the German-speaking world, his image as an enfant terrible of philosophy continues to be nourished by fragments that have appeared posthumously (Feyerabend 2005).
