To</p>\n<p>support this thesis\, I mediate between two opposing readings of the relation between</p>\n<p>Mach and early Carnap: Textor (2021)\, who advances a neutral monistic reading of</p>\n<p>Carnap&rsquo\;s Aufbau\, and Banks (2003\, 2014)\, who regards Carnap&rsquo\;s Aufbau and Mach&rsquo\;s</p>\n<p>neutral monism as divergent projects. I argue that the Aufbau does not satisfy the main</p>\n<p>conditions of Machian neutral monism and that the comparison between Mach and</p>\n<p>early Carnap with respect to ontological neutrality remains largely underdetermined. I</p>\n<p>further argue that Carnap&rsquo\;s pre-Aufbau works satisfy the main conditions of Machian</p>\n<p>neutral monism and support a reading according to which Mach and early Carnap are</p>\n<p>aligned in their account of ontological neutrality.</p>\n<p>This talk will also be available live streamed on:</p>\n<p>Zoom at <a data-cke-saved-href="https://pitt.zoom.us/j/96691832736">https://pitt.zoom.us/j/96691832736</a></p>\n<p>YouTube at <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg</a>.</p>
