Christoph Schuringa (Northeastern University London), The Unity of Science in Red Vienna

Abstract
In recent decades, a substantial body of work has grown up examining the 'Left Vienna Circle'. Among the merits of this work is the the way in which it connects the substantive epistemological doctrines of those on the Circle's left wing with social projects in which members were engaged. In this talk, I examine why it was that -- for Neurath and others -- the 'unity of science' could seem so closely connected with a programme of 'full socialization', by placing the development of the epistemological-social programme of which they were facets in the wider context of Red Vienna.
