Martin Kusch (University of Vienna)
Title: Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle on Science and Relativism (see
abstract below)
Date: January 21st (Wednesday)
Time: 14:00-15:30

Abstract:
I argue that there is a common theme in the later Ludwig Wittgenstein,
in Philip Frank and Otto Neurath: that the philosophy of science needs
to take seriously social-scientific perspectives on the sciences, and
that such perspectives come with commitments to relativism.
