The reconsideration of the Vienna Circle is not just limited to the German- or English-speaking countries. In December of 1996 the Spanish journal Arbor, a publication of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), put out a special issue on the Vienna Circle. The contributions by four Austrian and four Spanish authors, represent the proceedings of a meeting held in Madrid. In the introduction, the editor of the issue, Jesús Padilla Gálvez lists some of the desiderata of the reception of the legacy of logical empiricism in the Spanish-speaking world. To be sure, the dogmatic view of Vienna Circle thought was not limited to Spain. Padilla Gálvez, however, attributes some of the difficulties of giving an objective historiographical account to the problem of language, more specifically, to the fact that the only texts accessible to the Spanish reader have been in English, which, in many instances, was not the language in which the most important texts of the Circle were written.
