Abstract

AbstractMany representatives of Logical Empiricism were active in the youth movement before their scientific career. Rudolf Carnap, Hans Reichenbach, Kurt Grelling, Kurt Lewin, and Karl Korsch are the most prominent examples. The article compares the situation in Germany with that in Austria, where the relationship of Logical Empiricism to the Youth Movement is discussed using the example of Otto Neurath. But was there also programmatic coherence and ideological continuity between the two movements? Certain programmatic elements of the youth movement, such as the insistence on intellectual independence, criticism of authority or the central importance of education, played a central role in later careers of Logical Empiricists. It is made clear that the continuities between the two movements, understood as an important cultural and intellectual movement in interwar Europe, deserve a closer look.
