Reviews

'Christopher Burke's and Adam Tamas Tuboly's rich and detailed study of Otto Neurath's final years fills a great gap in our understanding of this remarkable philosopher, economist and educationalist.  They let us see Neurath working for Enlightenment ideals like informed self-determination and intersubjective accountability – and hoping to rebuild Europe after the Nazi catastrophe.' Thomas Uebel, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Manchester
