How the Cold War Transformed Philosophy of Science(ISBN=9780521546898) chm 下载 lrf pdf 阿里云 azw3 kindle 网盘

　　This intriguing and ground-breaking book is the first in-depth

study of the development of philosophy of science in the United

States during the Cold War. It documents the political vitality of

logical empiricism and Otto Neurath's Unity of Science Movement

when these projects emigrated to the US in the 1930s and follows

their de-politicization by a convergence of intellectual, cultural

and political forces in the 1950s. Students of logical empiricism

and the Vienna Circle treat these as strictly intellectual

non-political projects. In fact, the refugee philosophers of

science were highly active politically and debated questions about

values inside and outside science, as a result of which their

philosophy of science was scrutinized politically both from within

and without the profession, by such institutions as J. Edgar

Hoover's FBI. It will prove absorbing reading to philosophers and

historians of science, intellectual historians, and scholars of

Cold War studies.
