*Special Issue: Adverse Allies: Hidden Harmonies Between Logical Empiricism
and Austrian Economics*
Logical empiricism and Austrian economics are arguably the two
internationally most influential intellectual movements with Viennese
roots. The Vienna Circle and the Viennese School of economics have shaped
the world-wide development of philosophical, methodological, scientific,
and political debate.
Yet, despite numerous connections and interactions between the two
movements, their relationship has captured surprisingly sparse attention in
historical and philosophical scholarship. If an account is provided at all,
logical empiricists and Austrian economists are portrayed as
philosophically, scientifically, and politically antithetical groups.
Recent scholarship has challenged this received view of opposition by
reconstructing hitherto neglected compatibilities and similarities between
the two movements. This special issue collects historical as well as
systematic contributions that highlight and discuss hidden harmonies
between logical empiricism and Austrian economics while acknowledging
remaining disagreements. Contributions that fruitfully inform contemporary
debates in philosophy, methodology, politics, or the sciences are
particularly welcome.
Deadline for Submissions: 30.11.2025
