About the Book

This book provides new perspectives on the twentieth-century history of philosophy of science through the person of Ernest Nagel. Being one of the philosophical and institutional motors of the new discipline of philosophy of science, Ernest Nagel is still much underappreciated by scholars. By including a major intellectual biography of Nagel’s life and works (written by his daughter Yvonne Nagel and narrated through the personal correspondence of Ernest Nagel), this book provides a unique opportunity for researchers. The Nagel-Hempel correspondence is published here for the very first time, enabling scholars to get a sense of how logical empiricism emigrated to the States, got acclimatized, and took over American philosophy in less than two decades.

Table of Contents:
Chapter 1. In Focus: Ernest Nagel and American Philosophy between Pragmatism and Logical Empiricism (Roberto Gronda and Adam Tamas Tuboly).- Chapter 2. Ernest Nagel: A Biography Told Through Letters (Yvonne Nagel).- Chapter 3. Another Life in Letters: Ernest Nagel and Philosophy of Science in the Nagel-Hempel Correspondence (Roberto Gronda and Adam Tamas Tuboly).- Chapter 4. The Nagel-Hempel Correspondence (1935-1985) (Ernest Nagel and Carl G. Hempel).-Index of Names.
