@apotochnik.bsky.social makes the important point that the Vienna Circle had also a conception of the public role of their philosophy. Some great pictures and quotes on the slides. Is this material published, Angela? I wish I was taking screenshots. Thank you for a fantastic talk!

Listening to the first panel on history of #philsci in CEE. Inspiring that so many colleagues around the world tuned in. A wonderful first talk by Marta Sznajder on Janina Hosiasson (her heartbreaking story below). Now Angela Potochnik on the role of Marie Neurath (Reidemeister) in the Vienna Circle
