This book provides new perspectives on the twentieth-century history of philosophy of science through the person of Ernest Nagel. Being one of the philosophical and institutional motors of the new discipline of philosophy of science, Ernest Nagel is still much underappreciated by scholars. By including a major intellectual biography of Nagel s life and works (written by his daughter Yvonne Nagel and narrated through the personal correspondence of Ernest Nagel), this book provides a unique opportunity for researchers. The Nagel-Hempel correspondence is published here for the very first time, enabling scholars to get a sense of how logical empiricism emigrated to the States, got acclimatized, and took over American philosophy in less than two decades.
Roberto Gronda is Associate Professor in Philosophy of Science at the University of Pisa.

Adam Tamas Tuboly is research group leader of the MTA Lendulet Values and Science Research Group at the HUN-REN Research Centre for the Humanities, Budapest and senior research fellow at the Department of Behavioural Sciences at the Medical School, University of Pécs, Hungary.
