Abstract

The birth of the Vienna Circle (VC) is connected with the seminar conducted in Vienna from 1923, by Moritz Schlick. In 1929 members of the seminar proclaimed their credo in the manifesto: "The scientific conception of the world "The Vienna Circle"". When VC came into being, a lively and fruitful co-operation developed between the LWS and the VC which was younger by a quarter of a century. The cooperation was based on the similarity of aims and methods.
