Abstract

L'empirisme logique, mouvement incontournable dans l'histoire de la philosophie analytique, apparut dans l'entre-deux-guerres viennois comme une réaction progressiste à la pensée métaphysique. Continuant la mission des Lumières, ce mouvement moderniste est représenté par le Cercle de Vienne formé de Moritz Schlick, Rudolf Carnap et Otto Neurath, entre autres scientifiques. Ce livre invite à une réflexion sur la dimension politique méconnue de l'empirisme logique à travers la vie et l'oeuvre d'Otto Neurath (1881-1945), figure notable de "l'aile gauche" du Cercle. Il examine comment les travaux innovatifs de Neurath en matière d'infographisme, sa vision pédagogique et son socialisme s'articulent autour de la philosophie néo-empiriste des sciences.

Abstract

Au début du XXe siècle se déroulèrent deux « révolutions » scientifiques majeures : les théories de la relativité et la « nouvelle logique ». Les philosophes et scientifiques qui se réunirent à Vienne autour de M. Schlick entre 1924 et 1936 (constituant le « Cercle de Vienne ») tirèrent les leçons de ces deux révolutions et élaborèrent en conséquence aussi bien une « théorie de la connaissance » qu’une théorie du langage et une critique radicale de la philosophie traditionnelle. Souvent réduites à quelques formules lapidaires, les doctrines qu’ont développées les gens du Cercle ont été par la suite la cible de critiques virulentes, même si le « style » de philosophie qu’ils avaient inauguré a profondément marqué la philosophie de langue anglaise. C’est trop souvent au travers de ces critiques que les positions du Cercle ont été comprises. Cet ouvrage cherche à restituer toute la complexité de ces doctrines en entrant dans les détails techniques, qui seuls permettent d’en ressaisir la portée exacte, et en les mettant en perspective historique.

Abstract

This volume critically reexamines Otto Neurath’s conception of the unity of science. Some of the leading scholars of Neurath’s work, along with many prominent philosophers of science critically examine his place in the history of philosophy of science and evaluate the relevance of his work for contemporary debates concerning the unity of science.

Abstract

An international team of four authors, led by distinguished philosopher of science, Nancy Cartwright, and leading scholar of the Vienna Circle, Thomas E. Uebel, have produced this lucid and elegant study of a much-neglected figure. The book, which depicts Neurath's science in the political, economic and intellectual milieu in which it was practised, is divided into three sections: Neurath's biographical background and the socio-political context of his economic ideas; the development of his theory of science; and his legacy as illustrated by his contemporaneous involvement in academic and political debates. Coinciding with the renewal of interest in logical positivism, this is a timely publication which will redress a current imbalance in the history and philosophy of science, as well as making a major contribution to our understanding of the intellectual life of Austro-Germany in the inter-war years.

Abstract

Designed by Paul Renner in 1927, Futura has become one of the most widely used typefaces the world has ever seen. A sans serif that takes its form from simple geometric shapes, Futura -- the future -- is a true design innovaiton. Starting from its origins in the New Frankfurt Project, and following its journey firther afield to Berlin, Prague, Paris, New York -- and even the moon -- this book tells the story of how Futura went from representing radicalism in design to dependability. Includes essays by renowned design writers including Steven Heller, Erik Spiekermann and Christopher Burke. This is an examination of one of the most popular typefaces ever created, Futura. Celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, the story of Futura is a fascinating one. Charting its Bauhaus origins to its use as the first font on the moon in 1969, this book tells the story of how the typeface went from representing radicalism in design to dependability. It is durable and timeless, and is worthy of being rediscovered and celebrated.

Abstract

On May 14, 1940, Otto Neurath and Marie Reidemeister fled from the harbour of Scheveningen in The Hague to England. It was the last boat that could escape from Holland before the German occupiers took the city. Years earlier, in 1934, they had fled the same danger from Vienna to Holland. Otto Neurath can be seen as the godfather of today's infographics. In the Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum (Social & Economic Museum) that he founded in Vienna, developments in various areas of society were shown by means of pictorial statistics to a broad audience ' rich and poor, literate and illiterate. At the Museum, Otto Neurath acted as the scientific director and inspirer, Marie Reidemeister as the 'Transformer' of data into sketches, and Gerd Arntz as the head of the graphics department which designed pictograms and layouts. These three continued that work in Holland under the acronym Isotype (International System Of TYpographic Picture Education).After internment as 'enemy aliens' on the Isle of Man, Neurath & Reidemeister were able to continue their work in the UK. Through Wolfgang Foges and his book packaging firm Adprint, they were commissioned to design Isotype charts for books supported by the Ministry of Information during the war ' what might be called 'soft propaganda'. From 1942, Isotypes were supplied for information about the embryonic welfare state (Beveridge Plan), for illustrated books about Britain's allies (USA and USSR), and on what British democracy should look like after the war.This book illustrates around 250 Isotypes from these publications and provides information about the producers, authors, editors, and designers, and not least about the working relationship between the Isotype Institute and Adprint. The examples presented show the remarkable quality of the graphics, produced under less than ideal circumstances during wartime.Bron: https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/adprint-and-isotype-1942-1948-soft-propaganda-special-relationships-and-a-new-democracy/
