This volume presents, for the first time in English, many of the most influential papers by leading members of the Vienna Circle. Each volume will deal with one or, in some cases, with two, philosophical "schools" or "movements." It is fortunate that philosophers are rarely united by the kind of common purpose which inspires political or religious "movements." Nevertheless, it is frequently helpful to consider the work of different writers according to the similarities in their aim and content ; and this is the policy which has been adopted in designing the Library of Philosophical Movements.

But there are quite a few barriers at play that could keep them apart, in particular the social structures that dictate their stations and roles, plus their individual nerves/personalities that might prevent them from sharing their true feelings with each other (even though their actions speak loudly). As they get closer to uncovering a deeply-run conspiracy, Kadou and Evemer realize that their connection to each other may run more deeply than either expected it would as well. Along with his newly appointed bodyguard, Evemer, he takes lead on investigating a recent break-in at one of the nation’s guilds, and its connection to a recent spate of counterfeit coins. When a “misunderstanding” with the body-father of the Queen’s new baby leads to a tragedy, Kadou scrambles to re-prove his loyalty. ![]() Kadou is the younger brother of the Queen, quite happy to not be in a leadership position of that caliber himself, but also not entirely sure what his place should be (and his efforts to reflect well on his sister cause him a *lot* of anxiety). “That was reciprocity – reaching out your hand in the dark, offering it, and hoping someone reached back.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He was actually the only person in the story I did like.
