Abstract

Mach's thinking could be characterised in terms of an epistemological turn in the sense of empirical epistemology, like that of the British empiricists. With Mach, Austrian philosophy takes a new orientation, by leaving aside Bolzano's logical and mathematical interests as well as Brentanos's introspective study of the human mind.
