The essays in this collection come from the early and late periods of Hempel's career and chart his intellectual odyssey from a commitment to rigorous logical positivism in the 1930s (when Hempel allied himself closely with Carnap) to a more sociological approach that was close in spirit to the work of Neurath and Kuhn. Most of these essays are hard to track down, and four of them are appearing in English for the first time. Cumulatively, they offer a fresh perspective on Hempel's intellectual development and on the rise and demise of logical empiricism.

CARL GUSTAV HEMPEL (1905-1997) was one of the preeminent figures in the philosophical movement of logical empiricism. He was a member of both the Berlin and Vienna Circles, fled Germany in 1934, and finally settled in the United States where he taught for forty-five years in New York, New Haven, Princeton, and Pittsburgh. Richard Jeffrey has prepared the collection for publication, and he has supplied introductory surveys to the essays as well as a brief biographical sketch on Hempel.
