Vienna Circle

a group of philosophers, logicians, and mathematicians who were based in Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s. The unifying theme of their work was an attempt to systematize the empirical and positivist tradition using the methods of modern symbolic logic—an approach that became known as logical positivism. Prominent members of the group included German philosopher Rudolf Carnap (1891–1970) and Czech-born mathematical logician Kurt Gödel (1906–1978).
