"The Berlin lectures in The Grounding of Positive Philosophy, appearing here for the first time in English, advance Schelling's final "existential system" as an alternative to modernity's reduction of philosophy to a purely formal science of reason. The onetime protege of Fichte and benefactor of Hegel, Schelling accuses German Idealism of dealing "with the world of lived experience just as a surgeon who promises to cure your ailing leg by amputating it." Schelling's appeal in Berlin for a positive, existential philosophy found an interested audience in Kierkegaard, Engels, Feuerbach, Marx, and Bakunin. The Berlin lectures provide insight into the thought processes of one of the most provocative yet least understood thinkers of nineteenth-century German philosophy."--Jacket.

Le Cours de philosophie positive est une somme de leçons destinées à des étudiants motivés par les sciences et la leçon philosophique qu'elles procurent. Pour Auguste Comte, les sciences sont le fruit du développement de l'intelligence humaine. La mathématique, école de rigueur et de précision, constitue le degré initial d'une saine éducation logique ; elle détermine les fondements de la connaissance objective du monde physique et, comme instrument, elle est le " berceau " des lois du monde social. Les mathématiques ne dominent pas pour autant le monde intellectuel ; le retour aux " sources mathématiques " du savoir humain établit la distance qu'il y a à franchir pour aller des mathématiques à la sociologie. Ce volume, véritable bonheur de lecture et de compréhension de toute la mathématique classique, présente dix-huit leçons. Les deux premières leçons, les plus célèbres, sont consacrées à des considérations générales sur la nature et l'importance de la philosophie positive et sur la hiérarchie des sciences positives. Elles sont ici résumées, dans une version approuvée par Comte. Les leçons suivantes sont consacrées aux branches de la science mathématique, " incomparable instrument d'éducation rationnelle, point de départ de toute éducation scientifique ".

If there is a movement or school that epitomizes analytic philosophy in the middle of the twentieth century, it is logical empiricism. Logical empiricists created a scientifically and technically informed philosophy of science, established mathematical logic as a topic in and tool for philosophy, and initiated the project of formal semantics. Accounts of analytic philosophy written in the middle of the twentieth century gave logical empiricism a central place in the project. The second wave of interpretative accounts was constructed to show how philosophy should progress, or had progressed, beyond logical empiricism. The essays survey the formative stages of logical empiricism in central Europe and its acculturation in North America, discussing its main topics, and achievements and failures, in different areas of philosophy of science, and assessing its influence on philosophy, past, present, and future.
