Situating Neurath's work  between the topoi of Encyclopedism - as a theoretical,  scientific tool of the `unfinished' project of (post-) enlightenment  - and Utopianism - as the resolve to work for the  systematic improvement of society and science - this volume  presents the most recent research as well as critical and updated  surveys and assessments of Neurath's many-faceted and impressive life  work. The contributions range from history and philosophy of science,  epistemology, sociology and economics to pictorial statistics  (ISOTYPE) and museology. Special attention is given to Neurath's  methodological holism and epistemological naturalism, as well as to  the interrelations of the different disciplines in Neurath's  conception of the Unity of Science. Most contributors agree that the  historical and systematic reconstruction of Neurath's conception of  science leads to issues of crucial relevance to the ongoing task of  sharpening the instrument that is science for its responsible  application in the natural and social world. The volume also includes  Neurath's previously unpublished full manuscript on visual education,  a report on archival holdings concerning Neurath's work and a review  section focusing on recent publications on Neurath and Logical  Empiricism. An overview of the activities of the Institute Vienna  Circle 1996\/97 concludes the volume. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Philosophers in general, philosophers of science and  historians of science, and sociologists. The book will also interest  scholars specialized in adult education, museology and economics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048147335\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 404\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45379244261516,"sku":"9789048147335","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048147335.jpg?v=1774029374","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048147335","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
