JRS,
I'm not sure why my response didn't go through but I completely concur that the
Vienna Circle and Carnap in America are the likely suspects.
I also noted that I recall Rorty's reading of the situation here being biased
toward a Quinean interpretation of things, such that the attack on the
analytic-synthetic distinction justified the naturalistic turn. The view is
very much predicated on a Carnapian view of Analytic Philosophy and ignores the
fact that Wittgenstein and OLP didn't even accept the terms in which those
issues were framed let alone the thesis itself.
