Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The Vienna Circle was a group of mathematicians, scientists and philosophers promoting an entirely scientific world-view. They met from 1924 to 1936 regularly at the University of Vienna. They saw themselves as intellectual heirs of Mach and Boltzmann. They were deeply influenced by Einstein, Hilbert and Russell. The leading members were Hans Hahn, a mathematician, Moritz Schlick, a philosopher, and Otto Neurath, a social reformer. Younger members included Karl Menger, Rudolf Carnap and Kurt Gödel. They interacted with Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper. The Vienna Circle was crucial for analytic philosophy and the foundations of mathematics.
