Philosopher and scientific movement founded in 1921 by Moritz Schlick in the city of Vienna Austria, in its beginnings it was called the Vienna Circle for the scientific conception of the world, this body was in charge of studying the logic that existed within science, creating a common lexicon within all sciences, based mainly on physics, in addition to this, philosophy was considered as a tool to differentiate between what was considered as science and what was not.
The Vienna Circle was created at the beginning of the decade of the twenties, in its beginnings with the idea of forming a group of discussions of informal subjects referring to the University of Vienna, its president and founder was Moritz Schlick and among its members more Important characters such as Otto Neurath, Philipp Frank, Victor Kraft, Felix Kaufmann and Friedrich Waismann can be mentioned. Many of its members were not philosophers, in many cases they were physicists, mathematicians and scientists, who shared common interests regarding philosophy within science and rejected the academic metaphysics that by then predominated in central Europe.
The ideals that this organism followed were based on different antecedents, some of a philosophical nature such as E Mach's Neopositivism (any a priori element based on empiricism is refuted). Wittgenstein's tractatus (relates to empirical tradition with innovative logical mathematics). Historical antecedents also left their mark on the ideals of the circle, such is the case of the evolution of physics during the 20th century, this thanks to the contributions of Albert Einstein to decipher the structure of space- time, applied quantum mechanics in atomic structure and gravitation. A fact instrumental character that influenced the Vienna Circle was themathematical logic, proposed in 1905, all these contributions led to the creation of a language that allowed a detailed analysis of scientific concepts, also allowing to clarify problems of a philosophical nature.
In 1936, Moritz Schlick, head and founder of the circle, passed away, his death gave way to the gradual dissolution of the movement, and by 1939 the vast majority of its members emigrated to the United States where they dedicated themselves to living and working..
