Series: Propositions. "Entre les deux guerres mondiales, l'empirisme logique se donna pour but de concilier le rôle de l'expérience dans la connaissance scientifique et l'existence des lois logiques. Ses représentants empruntèrent à Frege et Russell les techniques qu'ils venaient de créer et à Wittgenstein son interprétation des vérités logiques. Depuis cinquante ans, leurs héritiers ont modifié à la fois leur idée de l'expérience et leur conception de ses rapports avec la logique. Et si, ainsi que le suggère Quine, l'adhésion de l'esprit humain à la logique classique était semblable à la croyance périmée dans le caractère euclidien de l'espace physique... Pourrions-nous encore penser dans une logique non classique?".

Aus Natur und Geisteswelt, 133. Printed dedication is to Ernst Mach. Walter Dubislav's 1929 obituary noted Petzoldt's importance in continuing the work of Mach and Avenarius, attempting to improve on it with his "Stabilitätsprinzip" as well as his work in education reform and positivist critique of mythical science-thinking. The book on the Weltproblem was still in print for a third edition in 1924. In his review C. H. Rieber wrote: "There is one criticism which the author makes upon every previous system he examines. The disparagement of the world of our immediate experience as a realm of "mere appearance," and the exaltation of a second, purely imaginary world to the rank of reality, this, Dr. Petzoldt contends, is the "miserable mistake" that philosophers have made from the time of the earliest Greek sages to the present day. It is the" original sin" which is responsible for the fall of philosophic man.".
