Research and publications on the Vienna Circle and Logical Empiricism
are growing and flourishing for decades. On the occasion of the 35th
anniversary of the Institute Vienna Circle and 90 years after the
assassination of Moritz Schlick, the founder of the Vienna Circle, it
seems reasonable to critically assess and re-evaluate the scholarly
output on the history and influence of the Vienna Circle as a collective
as well as of its individual members. The aim of this conference is to
focus on added values and novelties in research and publications as well
as from the perspective of theoretical sustainability. A special
attention is laid on archival sources with new results and on completed
and running research projects dealing with Carnap, Gödel, Neurath, and
Schlick, in addition to gender and migration studies.
Sections:
1. The Vienna Circle and Logical Empiricism as collective phenomena
