  1. Edgar Zilsels „Sozialismus 1943“ im Kontext.Christian Fleck - 2021 - Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie 69 (5):836-857.
    In the summer of 1943 Edgar Zilsel resigned from his membership in the exile organization of Austrian Social Democrats, a political movement he had joined as a young man back in Vienna.

  • The material memory of history: Edgar Zilsel’s epistemology of historiography. [REVIEW]Monika Wulz - 2012 - Studies in East European Thought 64 (1-2):91-105.
    The paper focuses on the concept of matter and the material in Edgar Zilsel’s considerations about historiographical methods in the context of the Marxist debates on the materialist conception of history in the 1920s and 1930s (György Lukács, Max Adler).

  • A Political Meaning of “Scientific Philosophy”? The Case of Edgar Zilsel.Oliver Schlaudt - 2018 - Philosophia Scientiae 22:257-287.
    Aujourd’hui, bon nombre de philosophes des sciences ou d’universitaires semblent penser que leur expertise peut éclairer les débats publics. Le premier empirisme logique peut apparaître comme un modèle de philosophie des sciences politiquement pertinent. Dans ses travaux sur la « dépolitisation» de l’empirisme logique, George Reisch a aidé à prendre conscience de l’agenda politique (de certaines composantes) du Cercle de Vienne, agenda qui a disparu dans les États-Unis d’après-guerre, sous la pression de l’anti-communisme. L’étude du cas d’Edgar Zilsel, un sociologue (...)
