The Rise And Fall Of The Vienna School

The Vienna School is an emerging philosophical school initiated by a group of scholars with academic backgrounds in mathematics,logic,natural sciences,and social sciences and interested in philosophy at the University of Vienna in the 1920 s,advocating a scientific approach to philosophical research.The work of the Vienna School became a sign of the rise of philosophy of science in the 20 th century.Without the Vienna School,there would be no current philosophy of science and its organizational system.The program,planning and implementation of the Vienna School at that time have grown into a vast and rich philosophy of science all over the world.In terms of the rise and maturity of a subject field,the school is more able to witness the rise and fall of the subject,and sometimes even becomes the key to the rise and fall of the subject.Therefore,as the birth of the Vienna School is about a hundred years old,we reconsider the rise and fall of the Vienna School,which has

ideological core and institutionalization of the rise of the Vienna School" mainly clarifies the impact of the development of mathematical logic and natural science on traditional transcendental speculative philosophy,the defects of traditional empiricism,the creation of Frege's mathematical logic,and Russell's philosophy of mathematics The logicism scheme of the philosophers shows the
