Erkenntnis is a journal of philosophy that publishes papers in analytic philosophy. Its name is derived from the German word for knowledge recognition. The journal was founded by Hans Reichenbach and Rudolf Carnap in 1930, and circulated under its original title, Erkenntnis, in 1930-1938. Renamed The Journal of Unified Science (Erkenntnis) (1939-1940) and interrupted after the beginning of World War II in 1940.[1] The journal was "refounded" by Wilhelm K. Essler, Carl G. Hempel and Wolfgang Stegmüller in 1975.[2][3] The current editors are Hans Rott (University of Regensburg), Wilhelm K. Essler, Patrick Suppes and Wolgang Spohn.[4]
