a piece of science history: the Wiener Kreis

At a completely different political level, the Vienna Circle, founded in 1924 by Moritz Schlick, Hans Hahn and Otto Neurath, played an important role in the development of the scientific world view. This organization sought to conduct philosophical discussions about the characteristics of scientific knowledge and faced metaphysical statements. Members such as Rudolf Carnap and Kurt Gödel were formative and initiated fundamental changes in scientific theory. Despite their significant influences, such as the University of Vienna , many suffered emigration after the seizure of power by the National Socialists.

The Wiener Kreis tried to realize the transfer of knowledge and scientific ideas, which led to significant developments in U.S.-American science and philosophy. Despite the angry political reactions, these developments and influences on western philosophy have remained in mind to the manifesto of the Vienna Circle. The heirs of this intellectual legacy are not only noticeable in the United States, but also in the European educational landscape until the 21st century.
