Philosophy has not kept up with modern developments in science, particularly physics. Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge." Their examples of the fields that have been conquered by physicists include most of the perennial phi…Read more

15United by Action: Neurath in EnglandIn Adam Tuboly & Jordi Cat (eds.), Neurath Reconsidered: New Sources and Perspectives, Springer Verlag. pp. 89-113. 2019.The aim of this paper is to give a biographical, historical, and philosophical reconstruction of Neurath’s final years in England. Besides reconstructing Neurath’s arrival to England, in the context of his life and philosophical introduction at Oxford, I will argue that since the 1930s, Neurath was eager to develop a brand for logical empiricism. This brand was based not on theoretical commitments, but on practical considerations and decisions. Using a detailed case study on Neurath’s relation t…Read more

11IntroductionIn Adam Tuboly & Jordi Cat (eds.), Neurath Reconsidered: New Sources and Perspectives, Springer Verlag. pp. 1-20. 2019.The Viennese-born polymath Otto Neurath died on 22 December 1945 in Oxford, a few months after the end of World War Two. A social engineer and sociologist of happiness, Neurath was not only a socially sensitive educator, advocating for any institute and organization that was concerned with the well-being of people; he was also a trained scientist and philosopher. Studying mathematics, economics, history, philosophy, and physics in Vienna and then in Berlin during the early years of the long twen…Read more
