In this essay, published in Hebrew in his book Studies in Contemporary Thought (עיונים במחשבת זמננו, Yachdav, Tel Aviv 1977, 41–49), Schächter harshly criticizes the current philosophical practice and teaching at universities, which in his opinion is antiquated and adheres unquestioningly to dogmas and idols of the history of philosophy. According to Schächter, the Vienna Circle is the only philosophical movement that succeeds, at the crossroads of time, in doubting what had been unanimously accepted until then due to a breach caused by new scientific developments. As an outright revolutionary philosophical method, logical empiricism does not establish any new laws but rather conducts an analysis of the philosophical question posed.
