Ludwik Fleck and the influence of the philosophy of Lwów

Thomas Schnelle

pp. 231-265

Abstract

In this work, I will investigate the question of the intellectual sources which influenced Fleck in the development of his theory of "thought-style" and "thought-collective". In this investigation, I develop the thesis that this influence was of a quite dominating philosophical nature, one exerted by the Polish philosophers working in Lwów between the wars.
