In the end, Carnap and Neurath had more influence than his Doktorvater, Reichrenbach, on Hempel's thought; and although the interaction with Carnap went on much longer, it was Neurath whose influence proved to be the more enduring. Hempel tells the story here in memorial essays (13, 15) on Carnap and Reichenbach – and in two historical essays (14, 16) in which Neurath figures prominently on the career of logical empiricism.
