Scientific Philosophy: Origins and Development is the first
Yearbook of the Vienna Circle Institute, which was founded in
October 1991. The book contains original contributions to an
international symposium which was the first public event to be
organised by the Institute: `Vienna--Berlin--Prague: The Rise of
Scientific Philosophy: The Centenaries of Rudolf Carnap, Hans
Reichenbach and Edgar Zilsel.' The first section of the book -
`Scientific Philosophy - Origins and Developments' reveals the
extent of scientific communication in the inter-War years between
these great metropolitan centres, as well as presenting systematic
investigations into the relevance of the heritage of the Vienna
Circle to contemporary research and philosophy. This section offers
a new paradigm for scientific philosophy, one which contrasts with
the historiographical received view of logical empiricism. Support
for this re-evaluation is offered in the second section, which
contains, for the first time in English translation, Gustav
Bergmann's recollections of the Vienna Circle, and an historical
study of political economist Wilhelm Neurath, Otto Neurath's
father. The third section gives a report on current computer-based
research which documents the relevance of Otto Neurath's `Vienna
method of pictorial statistics', or `Isotypes'. A review section
describes new publications on Neurath and the Vienna Circle, as
well anthologies relevant to Viennese philosophy and its history,
setting them in their wider cultural and political perspective.
Finally, a description is given of the Vienna Circle Institute and
its activities since its foundation, as well as of its plans for
the future.
