Friedrich Waismann was a rather tragic thinker of the past century, who spent the first part of his life in Austria as a member of the Vienna Circle, and then emigrated to England, where he finally settled in Oxford and became associated with its postwar ordinary language philosophy. The paper provides a brief account of Waismann’s life and scholarly achievements, presents an outline of his conception of philosophy, and discusses various criticisms and interpretations of his metaphilosophy. It is emphasized that his significance for the development of analytical philosophy should not be reduced to a more or less faithful exposition of the ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein.

The paper attempts to reconstruct the defining features of Austrian avant-garde fiction of the 60's, exploring structural characteristics of its emblematic novel 'the improvement of Central-Europe' (die verbesserung von mitteleuropa) by Oswald Wiener on the background of Austrian Neopositivism, or, more precisely, of its changing concept of language (L. Wittgenstein). Another frame of reference, confirming the avant-garde character of Wiener's work is Stirner's conception of individual anarchism. The tension between these two poles, characterizing several works of Austrian literary avant-garde can be perceived not only in the framework of poetologic innovation (a new form of novel-writing) but also of epistemological reflection, which leads to questioning of some surviving scientific and theoretic concepts of the cognitive language function.
