1 the cambridge companion to LOGICAL EMPIRICISM If there is a movement or school that epitomizes analytic philosophy in the middle of the twentieth century, it is logical empiricism. Logical empiricists created a scientifically and technically informed philosophy of science, established mathematical logic as a topic in and a tool for philosophy, and initiated the project of formal semantics. Accounts of analytic philosophy written in the middle of the twentieth century gave logical empiricism a central place in the project. The second wave of interpretative accounts was constructed to show how philosophy should progress, or had progressed, beyond logical empiricism. Since the 1980s, a new literature has arisen that examines logical empiricism in its historical, scientific, and philosophical contexts, in the belief that its philosophical significance has not been adequately judged, to the detriment of contemporary philosophy. This Companion provides informative overviews and further advances this reconstructive project. The essays survey the formative stages of logical empiricism in Central Europe and its acculturation in North America; discuss its main topics, achievements, and failures in different areas of philosophy of science; and assess its influence on philosophy, past, present, and future. Alan Richardson is professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia. Thomas Uebel is professor of philosophy at the University of Manchester.
