Strengths and weaknesses of an empirical sociology

Danilo Zolo

pp. 107-144

Abstract

The relationship between logical positivism and the philosophy of the social sciences has received most detailed attention, with the exception of Neurath, from the neo-empiricist writer, Carl G. Hempel.1 In his study "Logical Positivism and the Social Sciences", an exploratory as well as historical examination of this relationship, Neurath's contribution is contrasted with that of Carnap and Feigl.2
