Abstract

AbstractThe philosophical dispute between Moritz Schlick and Ludwig Wittgenstein has so far not attracted much attention. This is probably mainly due to Schlick's rather sporadic references to Wittgenstein and vice versa to Wittgenstein's rather sporadic references to Schlick in their respective writings. However, a closer observation of their relationship, taking into account their intellectual legacy and, in particular, their extensive correspondence, indicates that their philosophical discussions, which had started at the end of 1929 and lasted through to 1935/1936, led to reciprocal challenges. Wittgenstein's profound trains of thought (Denkbewegungen) seem to have been influenced by this period while Schlick as a constant companion maintained the essence of his Position throughout.
