  27. 30.Ibid., p. 66. Vetrov adroitly exemplified the latter group by M. Cohen and E. Nagel (cf.An Introduction to Logic and Scientific Method. New York 1934. p. 27), but probably it was as much the reactionaries among Soviet philosophers which he had in mind.

  30. Ibid., pp. 66–67. Cf. Schaff (cf. Reference 14). Vetrov is careful in his formulations. E.g., he does not identify the empirically given languages with the ordinary language, but says that ordinary language is the basis of all empirically given languages (p. 65).
