EnglishAbstract
In the 1930s, the rise of fascism forced dozens of philosophers to flee to the United States. How did immigrant scholars such as Rudolf Carnap, Max Horkheimer, and Alfred Schütz influence the development of philosophy? And why were American philosophers more receptive to logical empiricism than to critical theory or phenomenology? This volume brings together fifteen scholars to explore the impact of the intellectual migration on U.S. philosophy.
