Several historical sources point at the proximity of Neopositivism to socialEnlightenment as diversely expressed by central European modernist movementsbetween the two Wars. Yet the conceptual formalism and the politicalneutrality held by the majority of Neopositivists suggest the more traditional viewaccording to which the movement is detached from societal issues. In this paper Irevise some of the most recent literature on the ideological dimension of Neopositivismand try to show that the apparent conflict outlined above can be solvedby thoroughly analyzing the specific Enlightenment conceptions held by the movement. Specifically, the politically neutral scientific formalism of Neopositivismwas conceived as a necessary toolkit for autonomous critical thinking and thus,indirectly, for the achievement of the Enlightenment ideal of emancipation.
