The Vienna Circle – Currentness in Science and Art

Even now, the stimuli of the Vienna Circle are not just pervasive in modern exact sciences, such as physics, mathematics, information technology and engineering. They have also defined disciplines such as economy, architecture, psychology and literature. The influence of the Vienna Circle goes beyond social progressive movements into modern art. On the occasion of the »Vienna Circle. Exact Thinking on the Edge of Doom« exhibition at the Center for Art and Media, the Institute Vienna Circle of the University of Vienna, the Institute of Philosophy and the Institute of Technological Impact Assessment (ITAS) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Center for Art and Media (ZKM) are jointly hosting a two-day symposium about the impact and impact history of the Circle from the short period of its existence to the present day.
