II. PREVIEW 1994/95

CONFERENCES

3rd International Symposium: The Foundational Debate: Complexity and Constructivity in Mathematics and Physics To be held in collaboration with the Kurt Godel-Gesellschaft and the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science and Research. Date: September 15-17, 1994 Place: Institute for Mathematics, University of Vienna, Boltzmanngasse 9 / Strudlhofgasse 4, 1090 Vienna

In 1930, the Vienna Circle together with its sister organization, the Berlin Society for Scientific Philosophy, held a conference in Konigsberg on the current status of the foundational debate in mathematics and logic. The discus­sion centered on three lines of thought in particular: logicism, intuitionism and formalism. Logicism was associated with the work of the mathematicians and philosophers Peano, Dedekind, Frege, Whitehead and Russell; intuitionism with the work of Poincare, but above all with Brouwer and his follower Heyting; and formalism with Hilbert and his followers Bemays, Ackermann and von Neumann.

Since this time, much has changed, particularly because of the publication ofGOdel'sfamous incompleteness proof of 1931 in Vienna. It is a principal aim of the Conference to draw a new resume of the foundational debate in Section I, which is intended to continue in the vein of the well-known conference of the Vienna Circle in 1930.

340 ACTIVITIES OF THE INSTITUTE VIENNA CIRCLE

One of the most interesting areas of current foundational research in mathe­matics is constructivism, with which the philosophy of the Vienna Circle was closely related. Hence there will be a Section II especially devoted to this topic. The themes to be dealt with here include in particular a discussion of the basic nature of constructions themselves, especially the strength or complexity of the procedures or processes which they are permitted to start with. On the other hand, the question of what physical and other empirical theories are admissible depends on the various restrictions placed on computations by the different constructivist approaches. This question will also be addressed from the point of view of theoretical physics.

A related but curiously separate area will be treated under the heading of Complexity. Complexity has become one ofthe central concepts offoundational research in logic, mathematics and physics, although it is treated very differently in these disciplines - and also very differently from constructibility, even though the definition of complexity actually represents a problem for every variety of constructivism. In Section III, the organizers will attempt to bridge these two lines of research. (Of course, complexity theory merges into the research on Chaos - however, this topic was already the subject of a separate conference held by the Institute Vienna Circle, whose proceedings will be published in 1994.)

In addition, there will be an open Section IV devoted to the work of young researchers from both Austria and abroad, in which they will have an opportunity to present results before an audience of recognized scientists. Accepted invitations: Gregory Chaitin, Karel Cuda, Vendelin Cunderlik, Marie Luisa Dalla Chiara, Herbert Hrachovec, Eckehart Kohler, Peter H.

Jeden Donnerstag-Abend trat sich ein privater Diskussionszirkel im Mathematischen Institut der Universitat Wien und schuf dabei neue Standards, an denen sich jede kiinftige Philosophie, die als rationale auftreten will, orientieren muB. Aus dem Logischen Empirismus des .Wiener Kreises" der Zwischenkriegszeit entwickelte sich die wettweit in vielfBltiger Weise ausgepriigte analytische Philosophie. Der Band gibt einen Einblick in Entstehung, Arbeitsweise und Wirkungsgeschichte einer der bedeutendsten philosophischen Gruppierungen des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Scientific Philosophy: Origins and Developments

edited by Friedrich Stadler

Scientific Philosophy: Origins and Developments is the first Yearbook of the Vienna Circle Institute, which was founded in October, 1991. The book contains original contributions to an international symposium which was the first public event to be organised by the Institute: 'Vienna-Berlin-Prague: The Rise of Scientific Philosophy: The Centenaries of Rudolf Carnap, Hans Reichenbach and Edgar Zilsel. The first section of the book - 'Scientific Philosophy: Origins and Develop­ments' - reveals the extent of scientific communication in the interwar years between these great metropolitan centres, as well as presenting systematic investigations into the relevance of the heritage of the Vienna Circle to contemporary research and philosophy. This section offers a new paradigm for scientific philosophy, one which contrasts with the historiographical view of logical empiricism. Support for this reevaluation is offered in the second section, which contains, for the first time in English translation, Gustav Bergmann's recollections of the Vienna Circle, and a historical study of the political economist Wilhelm Neurath, Otto Neurath's father. The third section gives a report on current computer-based research which documents the relevance of Otto Neurath's 'Vienna method of pictorial statistics', or 'Isotopes'. A review section describes new publications on Neurath and the Vienna Circle, as well as anthologies relevant to Viennese philosophy and its history, setting them in their wider cultural and political perspective. Finally, a description is given of the Vienna Circle Institute and its activities since its foundation, as well as of its plans for the future. .

The Vienna Circle Institute is devoted to the critical advancement of science and philosophy in the broad tradition of the Vienna Circle, as well as to the focusing of cross-disciplinary interest on the history and philosophy of science in a social context. The Institute's Yearbooks will, for the most part, document its activities and provide a forum for the discussion of exact philosophy, logical and empirical investigations, and analysis of language.
