(The claims of philosophy are asserted most vigorously by the editoi and Ernest Nagel, both students of Professor Morris R. Cohen, who never ceased to champion the therapeutic role of Reason or to belabor the irrationalism of Freud. On the other hand, Philip Frank, a senior member of the Vienna Circle of logical empiricists participating in the N.Y.U. Conference reported that the original positivists always felt a close kinship to Freud and the psychoanalytic viewpoint. )
