Constructibility and complexity play central roles in recent
research in computer science, mathematics and physics. For example,
scientists are investigating the complexity of computer programs,
constructive proofs in mathematics and the randomness of physical
processes. But there are different approaches to the explication of
these concepts. This volume presents important research on the
state of this discussion, especially as it refers to quantum
mechanics. This foundational debate' in computer science,
mathematics and physics was already fully developed in 1930 in the
Vienna Circle. A special section is devoted to its real founder
Hans Hahn, referring to his contribution to the history and
philosophy of science. The documentation section presents articles
on the early Philipp Frank and on the Vienna Circle in exile.
Reviews cover important recent literature on logical empiricism and
related topics.
