History of Austrian Philosophy
Austrian philosophy could be described as the philosophical tradition that emerged in the former Austro-Hungarian empire in the XIXth century. Under the influence of philosophers like Bernard Bolzano in the province of Bohemia (today Czech Republic) and Franz Brentano in Austria, austrian philosophy developed mainly in reaction to kantian philosophy and to the so-called german idealism, whose key figures are Hegel, Schelling und Fichte. One of the principal concerns of austrian philosophy is linked with the scientific development of philosophy. In the XXth century, under the impulse of Brentano's students and grand-students, the austrian method of philosophy gained international importance through the works of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Otto Neurath and Karl Popper, who were all influenced by Brentano's ideas.
