The Orchestration of the Sciences by the Encyclopedism of Logical Empiricism

  • Chapter

Part of the Vienna Circle Collection book series (VICC,volume 16)

Abstract

I took the term ‘orchestration’ from Kallen’s lively lecture, read at our fifth Unity-of-Science Congress (Harvard, 1939), as one of my pet words and have since used it frequently. Thus, I gladly accepted the editor’s friendly invitation of starting a discussion on Kallen’s paper ‘The Meaning of ‘Unity’ among the Sciences’ (Educational Administration and Supervision, February, 1940, pp. 8–97) in the pages of this periodical.
