(2009). “Husserl and Wittgenstein on Positivism, Philosophy and Natural Science”, in Language, Nature, and Science: New Essays, Luis Fernández Moreno (ed.), Madrid, México D.F., Plaza y Valdés, pp. 125-160.978-84-92751-29-7https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/121004El libro en el que se incluye este capítulo contiene contribuciones de la mayoría de los miembros del grupo de investigación interdepartamental de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid “Filosofía del lenguaje, de la naturaleza y de la ciencia” (930174).Husserl and Wittgenstein held quite different philosophical agendas despite their similarities on some major points of great cultural and analytic interest. To explore at length and in full detail these differences and similarities is a theoretical project yet to be done, although some important work has been advanced in this direction. More attention has been paid to the possible connections and controversies between Wittgenstein and Heidegger, although this task has been carried out many times in an indirect way through a number of themes that both of them share with the American pragmatist movement. Nevertheless, we can take Husserl’s and Wittgenstein’s attitudes towards philosophy and its relationship with natural science as a case study from which we can begin to analyze their wider philosophical disagreements. As I shall try to show, their attitudes towards philosophy and natural science can be explained, if not fully, at least to a great extent, by the way they place themselves in relation to positivism and by the general arguments they use to overcome it.engbook parthttps://www.plazayvaldes.es/libro/language-nature-and-sciencehttps://produccioncientifica.ucm.es/documentos/5d399991299952068444be64restricted access165.32165.2165.21ScienceTruthRadical agnosticismScientific modelsLanguage grammarHistoricismIdealityHumanidadesFilosofíaFenomenologíaFilosofía de la CienciaTeoría del conocimiento72 Filosofía7201 Filosofía del Conocimiento7205 Filosofía de la Ciencia7208 Doctrinas Filosóficas
