Excellent- More about The History of Understanding in Analytic Philosophy: Around Logical Empiricism
Verstehen, or interpretive understanding of human behavior, is a key concept in the divide between the social sciences and the natural sciences. This collection offers a fresh take on the development of understanding within analytic philosophy before, during, and after logical empiricism, reinvigorating debates on the role of the social sciences within contemporary epistemology. It explores the reception of the social sciences prior to logical empiricism, surveys the positive and negative critiques from Otto Neurath, Felix Kaufmann, Viktor Kraft, and other logical empiricists, and situates verstehen within contemporary interdisciplinary developments in the field.

Verstehen, an interpretive understanding of human behavior, forms the boundary between the social sciences and the natural sciences. This collection, with a historically oriented approach, explores the development of understanding within analytic philosophy before, during, and after logical empiricism. By bringing together esteemed experts such as Martin Kusch, Thomas Uebel, Karsten Stueber, and Giuseppina DOro, the book serves as an authoritative reference on the philosophy of social science developed by logical empiricists. It charts the various formulations of verstehen proposed by Wilhem Dilthey, Max Weber, R.G. Collingwood, and Peter Winch, examining their reception before logical empiricism and the critiques from Otto Neurath, Felix Kaufmann, Viktor Kraft, and others. The volume reveals that verstehen was not entirely rejected by the Vienna Circle but underwent conceptual uses and misuses. Additionally, it provides systematic historical coverage and situates verstehen within contemporary interdisciplinary developments in the field, shedding light on the 21st-century "turn to understanding among analytic philosophers" and opening new lines of inquiry for the philosophy of social science.
