Abstract
Rudolf Carnap and Hans Reichenbach can be considered as the most influential protagonists-in-exile of the scientific philosophy that arose in the twenties and early thirties under the headings Wissenschaftliche Weltauffassung and Wissenschaftliche Philosophie. Both were born in 1891 — as was a generally forgotten (and “most Viennese”) member of the Vienna Circle: Edgar Zilsel (1891–1944).

Notes
The books are referred to by the capital letter indicated. Together with the names of authors I quote the first page of their papers. Otherwise pagenumbers refer to a single quote only. Some titles are integrated into the text. For the sake of legiblity I suppress capitalization then. Translations from German originals are mine.

See Holton’s paper quoted above. The present volume contains his documentation of the Institute for the Unity of Science, one of the most important organizations of the Vienna Circle in exile.
