 | | Schlick was founder and leader of the German WIENER KREIS, a group of philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians was formed in the 1920s that met regularly in Vienna to investigate scientific language and scientific methodology. |
 | | Among the members of the Wiener Kreis were Gustav Bergmann, Rudolf Carnap, Herbert Feigl, Philipp Frank, Kurt Gödel, Otto Neurath, and Friedrich Waismann; and among the members of a cognate group, the Gesellschaft für empirische Philosophie ("Society for Empirical Philosophy"), which met in Berlin, were Carl Hempel and Hans Reichenbach. |
 | | A formal declaration of the group's intentions was issued in 1929 with the publication of the manifesto Wissenschaftliche Weltauffassung: Der Wiener Kreis ("Scientific Conception of the World: The Vienna Circle"), and in that year the first in a series of congresses organized by the group took place in Prague. |
