Early German Positivism

Beschreibung

Early German Positivism is a history of the origins of the scientific worldview of positivism. This worldview arose in a struggle against the Roman Catholic tradition and the traditions of metaphysics prevailing in Austria and Germany. This study covers positivism even before the first Vienna circle (1907).
