Study of philosophical movement called the Vienna Circle, named so chiefly for intellectual excellence of its members, but also for external historical reasons. Course pays careful attention to intercultural aspects of ideas of the Vienna Circle: intellectual climate under which these ideas were formed, how thoughts of its members found an echo outside of Austria, and how they made a lasting influence on philosophical thinking in England and in U.S. The Staff
