Abstrakt

This paper is visibly connected neither to relations between the Erlangen school and logical empiricism , nor to any problems of logic. I will instead be concerned with whether Wilhelm Kamlah and Paul Lorenzen were possibly influenced by the discussion of phenomenological issues by certain philosophers active in Erlangen shortly before or during the development of the so-called Erlangen school in the Mid-1960s. It is claimed that there was no real discussion or exchange of ideas between the protagonists of constructive philosophy and those in the Erlangen Institute closer to phenomenology , neo-Kantianism, or "new ontology", although some of them were concerned with similar problems and, like Hermann Zeltner, attempted to establish a dialogue from time to time.
