In the 1930s, a group of European philosophers fled fascism and reshaped American philosophy. Why did logical positivism have such an impact on US thought? And why did it play a central role in the culture wars of the 1950s and 1960s?

Editing my book (forthcoming, De Gruyter!), found that I’d quoted Dilthey complaining in a letter to his publisher (Walter de Gruyter!) about being exhausted and unable to meet his deadlines. Very pleased with this.
