	Feigl bio
		Feigl was a frequent organizer of formal and informal conferences, and was a member of several professional associations.
		Feigl began his philosophical career as a logical positivist, soon converted to logical empiricism (realist positivism), and remained faithful to the latter position to the end of his life, with a few adjustments he seems to have regarded as minor.
		Feigl's doctoral dissertation dealt with the roles of probability and induction in the natural sciences, and the topic was a major concern for the rest of his career.

	biology - Moritz Schlick
		First, a group of philosophers and scientists (including but not limited to Rudolf Carnap, Herbert Feigl, Kurt Gödel, Hans Hahn, Otto Neurath, and Friedrich Waismann) suggested to Schlick that they conduct regular meetings to discuss science and philosophy.
		On June 22, 1936, Schlick was ascending the steps of the University for a class when he was confronted by a former student who drew a pistol and shot him in the chest.
		Herbert Feigl and Albert Blumberg, in their excellent introduction to "General Theory of Knowledge," have written, "No other thinker was so well prepared to give new impetus to the philosophical questings of the younger generation.

	Identity Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		A family of views on the relationship between mind and body, Type Identity theories hold that at least some types (or kinds, or classes) of mental states are, as a matter of contingent fact, literally identical with some types (or kinds, or classes) of brain states.
		In Feigl's view, such "nomological danglers" have no place in a respectable ontology; thus, epiphenomenalism (again considered as a species of dualism) should be rejected in favor of an alternative, monistic theory of mind-body relations.
		Feigl's suggestion was to interpret the empirically ascertainable correlations between phenomenal experiences ("raw feels") and neurophysiological processes in terms of contingent identity: although the terms we use to identify them have different senses, their referents are one and the same-- namely, the immediately experienced qualities themselves.

	PhilSci Archive - The Mind-Body Problem in the Origin of Logical Empiricism: Herbert Feigl and Psychophysical ...
		It is widely held that the current debate on the mind-body problem in analytic philosophy began during the 1950s at two distinct sources: one in America, deriving from Herbert Feigl's writings, and the other in Australia, related to writings by U. Place and J. Smart.
		Seen against the backdrop of nineteenth-century German and Austrian philosophy, Feigl's approach was neither novel nor audacious; he merely revived a tradition that had once been a mainstream topic turned unfashionable; to be exact, he modified and spelled out one specific traditional position.
		My aim is to capture the setting in which young Herbert Feigl must have encountered the issue when he took up his university studies in Vienna in 1922.

	The Identity Theory of Mind
		Feigl's wide ranging contribution covered many problems, including those connected with intentionality, and he introduced the useful term ‘nomological danglers’ for the dualists' supposed mental-physical correlations.
		Feigl and Smart put the matter more in terms of the distinction between meaning and reference.

	Paul Feyerabend
		As a result of earlier discussions with Herbert Feigl, Feyerabend published “Das Problem der Existenz theoretischer Entitäten”, in which he argued that there is no special “problem” of theoretical entities, and that all entities are hypothetical.
		Feigl had been a member of the Vienna Circle until his emigration to the USA in 1930, but he had never given up the “realist” view that there is a knowable external world.
		It was … quite a shock to hear Feigl expound fundamental difficulties and to hear him explain in perfectly simple language without any recourse to formalism why the problem of application [of the probability-calculus] was still without a solution.

		In 1960, the University of Pittsburgh's academic vice chancellor, Charles H. Peake, appointed Adolf Grünbaum as Andrew Mellon Professor of Philosophy with the mandate to establish a first-class Center for Philosophy of Science.
		Taking Herbert Feigl's Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science as his model, Grünbaum, as founding director of the new Center, set about to develop a major philosophical research institute.
		In 1961, Nicholas Rescher, who had just been recruited as professor of philosophy, was appointed the center's first associate director and joined Herbert Feigl, Paul Feyerabend, Norwood Russell Hanson, Philip Morrison, Hilary Putnam, and George Wald in making the presentations in the 1961-62 edition of the Annual Lecture Series.

	Parsimony and the Mind
		According to Feigl, material simplicity (similar to epistemological parsimony) is testable by empirical evidence.
		The brain and the mind are different because the mind can only be known from a first person standpoint, while the brain can be studied objectively: "What seems impossible is to include in a physical conception of the world the facts about what mental states are like for the creature having them" (Nagel, 1985, p.

	Naive Realism in Philosophy
		Jaegwon Kim (1998) traces the origins of the mind-body identity theory to C. Broad (1925) and Herbert Feigl (1958).
		Broad, according to Kim, was the original exponent of this theory, although Feigl was more influential.
		Feigl (1958) on the other hand does present a cogent case for the identity of mind and brain in its entirety, and Feigel even cites Bertrand Russell and Wolfgang Köhler among those who preceded him in this belief.

		Scientist Herbert L. Melzer writes in The Chemistry of Human Behavior: "The full range of those emotional and intellectual capabilities which we regard as uniquely human originates in an incredibly complex overlay of neurochemical organization upon highly specialized morphological structures.
		We do not need to mean anything more by the term mind than the total organization of functions, memories, and capabilities that characterize any particular brain."6 Many scientists are not troubled by the profoundly depersonalizing social and psychological effects of this view.

		Members were: Rudolf Carnap, Otto Neurath, Herbert Feigl, Waismann, Kurt Godel, and Kraft.
		A member of the "Theory Movement" in Educational Administration, he accepted the fundamental premises of the movement until 1975, when he questioned the notion, derived by Griffiths and others, that Educational Administration was subject to Herbert Feigl's belief that the hard sciences and the search for theories there was appropriate for K-12 Educational Administration.
		Willower made a slight turn to the left from the hard-liners when he argued that Educational Administration, unlike the hard sciences, was capable of locating a core group of theories explaning it.

	Philosophy 4650
		The identity theory of mind was developed in the 1950s, chiefly by the philosophers U. Place, J. Smart, and Herbert Feigl.
		Place, Smart, and Feigl changed all that, partly by answering standard objections to the identity theory and partly by changing the way philosophers thought about the problem of explaining the mind.
		But the functionalist, following the identity theory, sees a way of making sense of what sensations are that, rather than eliminating the “inner” or construing it as the province of a Cartesian, immaterial, nonphysical mind or self, instead makes it part of the physical world.
