Abstract
This chapter is intended as a critical but selective overview of the reciprocal influence of logical empiricism and formal epistemology on each other. In one direction, using Carnap, Reichenbach, Hempel, and Nagel as exemplars, it shows how formal epistemology was central to logical empiricist projects. This assessment should not be controversial. In the other direction, it asks to what extent logical empiricism has contributed to contemporary formal epistemology today. The verdict here must be mixed. The emphasis throughout this chapter will be on common themes found in the logical empiricist corpus rather than on how individual contributions differ in emphasis.
