ABSTRACT
It is well known and widely documented by now that logical empiricism was, to some degree, inspired and conditioned in its early development by certain neo-Kantian influences. This chapter considers in greater detail how these influences were distributed among different representatives of logical empiricism. After a brief overview of the three dominant types of neo-Kantianism (the Marburg School, the Baden School, and the critical realism of Alois Riehl), the chapter discusses the influence of the Marburg School on Rudolf Carnap, the influence of the Baden School on Carnap and Moritz Schlick, the influence of Alois Riehl on Schlick, and finally the rather diffuse Kantianism of the early Reichenbach.
