Forschungsstelle and Dokumentationszentrum für österreichische Philosophie (Research and Documentation Center for Austrian Philosophy) in Graz, has raised this question himself and answered it affirmatively in some of his earlier articles. It must, in any case, be noted that he has succeeded in directing attention to a type of thinking that was practiced by Austrian philosophers in particular. Franz Brentano, Philipp Frank, Kurt Gödel, Hans Hahn, Bela von Juhos, Ernst Mach, Otto Neurath, Karl Popper, Ludwig Wittgenstein and others developed their basic philosophical views in a cultural and political setting whose main features were the opposition to Kantian philosophy and its continuation in German idealism. Their thinking was predominated by an empiristic outlook, which valued the empirically given more highly than speculations about an "intelligible" world. This outlook was used against all sorts of idealistic metaphysics and was joined by a critical reflection on language, which sought to show how and about what one can speak meaningfully, i.e., clearly." /> Reviews - Haller Rudolf | sdvig press
