  @CTRLtomDEL They say v.similar stuff. I can imagine having a preference for one or another, but not a pro-attitude to one but not the other.

  @CTRLtomDEL ...it's not hard to see Schlick as prefiguring old!Wittgenstein as well. #Wittgenstein #Schlick #Positivism #Philosophy

  @CTRLtomDEL Well not clear what to conclude. Maybe Schlick didn't represent young!Wittgenstein but old!Wittgenstein came to resemble Shlick.

  @CTRLtomDEL ... but Schlick's paper on verificationalism (as he understands it) is also a good one
