back up a bit more and you get to john stuart mill, or even further back to 
thomas hobbes, john locke, and george berkley, to name a few enlish language 
philophers who influenced logical positivism. but then again, they might have 
written in latin;)

on the other hand, if logical positivism is in such demand, why not do 
summaries in lojban instead of translations?
