IVC - HPS Department Cooperation
The Institute Vienna Circle (Vienna, Austria) and the Department
of History and Philosophy of Science (Eotvos University, Budapest.
Hungary) announces a joint project in the framework of an
Austrian-Hungarian Joint Action Foundation grant.
The project concentrates on ideas and problems of philosophy of
science that range from those of the Vienna Circle to contemporary
materialism, including topics on Mach, Lakatos, Gdel, von
Neumann, and others.
The original text of the project proposal is available in German at
http://hps.elte.hu/ivc. Coordinators: George Kampis (Budapest) and
Fritz Stadler (Vienna).
The project is based on a series of lectures and accompanying
discussions. Lectures will be delivered alternatively in Vienna and
Budapest. As a ~tangible~ output we envision to publish an edited
volume of refereed papers that brings the written versions of some
of these lectures.

coming lectures will be announced later):
