Systems which have universally owed their origin to the lucubrations of those who were acquainted with one art,

but ignorant of the other; who therefore explained to themselves the phenomena, in that which was strange to them,

by those in that which was familiar; and with whom, upon that account, the analogy, which in other writers gives

occasion to a few ingenious similitudes, became the great hinge on which every thing turned.

**1. La place de The Counter-Revolution of Science dans l’œuvre de Hayek**

1Publié par Friedrich Hayek en 1952, The Counter-Revolution of Science. Studies on the Abuse of Reason1,est sans doute l’un des livres les plus importants écrits sur Auguste Comte dans la seconde moitié du siècle dernier. Encore que son impact dans les pays francophones ait été minime2, il est permis de penser qu’on y trouve la formulation la plus achevée de l’image qui prévaut encore aujourd’hui de l’auteur du Cours de philosophie positive.

Revue de Synthèse, 136 (2015), 1, April (online-first) http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11873-014-0260-4 DOI 10.1007/s11873-014-0260-4 Print ISSN 0035-1776 FROM COMTE TO CARNAP* MARCEL BOLL AND THE INTRODUCTION OF THE VIENNA CIRCLE IN FRANCE Peter SCHÖTTLER « C’est aux environs de 1920 qu’il faut situer la fin de l’Antiquité. » Marcel Boll In this article1 I would like to draw attention to a blurry chapter in the history of the philosophy of science. More specifically, it pertains to a cultural and scientific transfer between the German-speaking world (Germany and Austria) and France, namely, the reception of the so-called “Vienna Circle” in France in the 1920s and 1930s. My starting point consists in two theses or assertions: On the one hand, it has been asserted that the Vienna Circle’s “scientific philosophy” (also called “logical empiricism”) has its own philosophical roots, mainly Austrian and German, which are far removed from classical positivism as was formulated at the be
