Last year marked the centenary of the founding of the Vienna Circle, which
went on to become one of the key centers of logical empiricism. Over time,
the movement has been perceived in widely differing ways, the most
influential being the critique that emerged in the 1950s, leading prominent
figures in the philosophy of science to declare the death of logical
empiricism. However, the past 35 years have witnessed a distinct shift,
exemplified by the title of a book that appeared at the very beginning this
period: Rediscovering the Forgotten Vienna Circle. While this work focused
primarily on Neurath, it was followed by numerous studies on other figures
associated with logical empiricism. In this time, including recent years,
our understanding of the movement and the literature surrounding it have
been significantly enriched.
This conference seeks, on the one hand, to highlight the impact of this
process, focusing primarily on the key areas of scientific activity pursued
by members of the Vienna Circle and the Berlin School-logic, philosophy of
language, linguistics, the philosophy of mathematics, methodology, and the
philosophy, history, and sociology of science. On the other hand, it aims to
explore how the understanding and reception of the scientific conception of
the world-particularly the social dimension of the neopositivist
programme-have evolved over time.
