Abstract

Otto Neurath is known as the most political intellectual among the Viennese philosophers of Logical Empiricism (LE). This theme has, however, not received as much attention as other Neurath-related topics and projects such as Unity of Science or ISOTYPE. Nevertheless it is a matter of fact that none of these scientific or educational projects can be strictly separated from politics. Instead, in Neurath's case, science and politics are interlinked in various ways.
