The role Hans Hahn played in the Vienna Circle has not always been
sufficiently appreciated. It was important in several ways. In the
ftrst place, Hahn belonged to the trio of the original planners of
the Circle. As students at the University of Vienna and throughout
the fIrst decade of this century, he and his friends, Philipp Frank
and Otto Neurath, met more or less regularly to discuss
philosophical questions. When Hahn accepted his fIrSt professorial
position, at the University of Czernowitz in the north east of the
Austrian empire, and the paths of the three friends parted, they
decided to continue such informal discussions at some future time -
perhaps in a somewhat larger group and with the cooperation of a
philosopher from the university. Various events delayed the
execution of the project. Drafted into the Austrian army during the
first world war" Hahn was wounded on the Italian front. Toward the
end of the war he accepted an offer from the University of Bonn
extended in recognition of his remarkable 1 mathematical
achievements. He remained in Bonn until the spring of 1921 when he
returm: d to Vienna and a chair of mathe matics at his alma mater.
There, in 1922, the Mach-Boltzmann professorship for the philosophy
of the inductive sciences became vacant by the death of Adolf
Stohr; and Hahn saw a chance to realize his and his friends' old
plan."
