Friedrich Waismann’s Legacy and Presence
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Institute Vienna Circle and the Vienna Forum for Analytic
Philosophy, together with the Hans Kelsen Institute and the ERC-Project
“The Emergence of Relativism” host a three-day conference on
Friedrich Waismann to take place in Vienna from the 15th to the 17th of
September 2016.
Waismann was a citizen of two worlds, the Vienna Circle before his
emigration and the Oxonian ordinary language philosophy after his
emigration, and came to be a prolific critic of both. Inspired by a
first successful conference on Waismann –“Causality and Logical
Positivism”, Vienna 2010 – the aim of this conference is to discuss
the currency and variety of Waismann’s contributions to the field.
