The workshop may cover all varieties of influences on Carnap’s seminal work, with the inclusion of the influences of Frege, Russell, Husserl, the neo-Kantians, Dilthey, and the Dilthey-school but also the influences of less well-known philosophers such as Vaihinger, Gätschenberger, Driesch, Dingler, and others.
