Abstract

Based on texts and personal recollections, the paper discusses the origins and roots of Philipp Frank's philosophy of science as it was developed in Eastern Europe and later institutionalized in the United States. It takes into account the influence of Abel Rey and V. I. Lenin, considering the idea of the "bankruptcy of science."
