Auf welchen Gebieten hat er seine Interessen entwickelt? Welche sind seine philosophischen Werke und was ist die von ihm angestrebte Universalwissenschaft? 250 Jahre später erhebt auch der Wiener Kreis Anspruch auf die Konzeption einer Einheitswissenschaft. Was kennzeichnet den Wiener Kreis? Inwiefern kritisiert Otto Neurath das eigene Programm? Welche Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede sind in den Theorien zwischen Leibniz und Wiener Kreis sichtbar?

We continue our conversation with Professer Thomas Uebel to the show to talk all about Otto Neurath and his impact on economic theory, the socialist calculation debate, and socialist planning.Planning Book Website:https://theclasslesssocietyinmotion.com/Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/FromAlpha2Omega

This week I'm really delighted to welcome Professer Thomas Uebel to the show to talk all about Otto Neurath and his impact on economic theory, the socialist calculation debate, and socialist planning.Professor Uebel was the editor of 'Otto Neurath - Economic Writings Selections 1904-1945'.Planning Book Project Website:https://theclasslesssocietyinmotion.com/

The worsening climate situation reveals the inability of the market system and of economic policy to deal with what conventional economics calls ”externalities”. We are faced with hard material constraints that any viable alternative to capitalism must be able to deal with. For example, we must produce a diverse basket of basic consumption goods, a certain number of hospital beds, and so on, while maintaining 10 gigaton per year net carbon dioxide sequestration. This challenge bears many similarities to problems considered in the study of cybernetics. One qualitative change from the socialist calculation debate of the 1920's is the invention of the digital computer and the internet. The rising computer-literacy in the population enables democratic computerized planning that can coordinate individual workplaces on a large scale. Our aim with this talk is twofold: on the one hand, to spark renewed interest around the potentials and challenges of cybernetic planning, and on the other hand, initiate development of and experimentation with such methods in the real world. The talk begins with a brief history of planning, from Marx and Engels to Otto Neurath and Gosplan, and to modern thinkers like Stafford Beer and Paul Cockshott. We then go on to discuss how computerized macroeconomic coordination can be carried out that takes into account explicit material constraints. Such a system can continuously adjust recommended reallocations of productive resources, adapting to changes in the real world as fast as information can be put into the system and as fast as people can react to the suggestions provided by the system. We identify maintaining viability as a key necessity of any post-capitalist economic system. By contrast, the consequences of runaway climate change is laying bare the inability of capitalist market economies to maintain viability. To turn a neoliberal slogan, there is no alternative to planning!

Ein Gespräch mit Prof.in Dr.in Karen Fromm. Über Fotografie und wirklich fast alles was damit zu tun. Dabei kommen Arbeiten von Andrea Grützner genauso vor wie die Suche nach einer Antwort auf die Frage: Was wird Fotografie? Die Antwort ist groß und führte uns über die sogenannte Bilderflut bis zu dem angeblichen Tod der Fotografie. Wir versuchen zwar, das Gespräch über Begrifflichkeiten nicht Überhand nehmen zu lassen, glücklicherweise gelingt das nicht immer. Dass es auch um die Image-Matters-Plattform, das Fotografiestudium in Hannover und Visual Journalism geht versteht sich von selbst. Das alles in etwas mehr als einer Stunde. Könnte man fast kompakt nennen. Karen Fromm ist seit 2011 Professorin im Studiengang Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography an der Hochschule Hannover. Sie studierte Kunstgeschichte, Literaturwissenschaften und Kultur- und Medienmanagement in Heidelberg, Hamburg und Berlin, sie promovierte an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin zum Thema ‚Das Bild als Zeuge. Inszenierungen des Dokumentarischen in der künstlerischen Fotografie seit 1980‘. Von 1995 bis 1997 leitete sie die Galerie Pfefferberg in Berlin und ab 1999 das Referat für Ausstellungen und Corporate Design bei Gruner+Jahr. Bis 2011 war sie auch Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung bei der Photo- und Presseagentur FOCUS. Das angesprochene Zitat zu den Schiffern auf hoher See ist im Original von Otto Neurath und lautet wie folgt: „Es gibt keine tabula rasa. Wie Schiffer sind wir, die ihr Schiff auf offener See umbauen müssen, ohne es jemals in einem Dock zerlegen und aus besten Bestandteilen neu errichten zu können. Nur die Metaphysik kann restlos verschwinden.“ https://visualjournalism.de http://image-matters-discourse.de/ https://www.foto-kunst-theorie.de/4-fragen-an-karen-fromm/ https://www.andreagruetzner.de/erbgericht Foto: Raimund Zakowski

Cymene and Dominic talk about hauling ice, champagne socialism and the mystery of Viennetta cakes on this week's intro. Then (16:07) we are joined by Troy Vettese, an environmental historian, and Drew Pendergrass, an environmental engineer, to talk about their bold and imaginative new book, Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics (Verso 2022, https://www.versobooks.com/books/3818-hal). We begin with the value of thinking in impractical ways and how utopian socialists past like Edward Bellamy, William Morris and Otto Neurath inspired this project. We discuss how high growth expectations have bedeviled planning in the past and talk about the flaws in the utopia of automated luxury socialism. Is capitalism an inherently irrational system? Does planning have irrational tendencies too? We cover where the idea to make a game version of the book came from (https://play.half.earth). We move from there to what the Left could stand to learn from the tactics of the neoliberal revolution, the necessity of utopian imagination for mass organizing, how intellectuals underestimate the readiness of the working class for change and much, much, more. Also please check out Drew and Troy's Noema essay based on the book at: https://www.noemamag.com/planning-an-eco-socialist-utopia/

In this episode, Troy Vettese talks with us about neoliberalism.

One of the most fascinating and thought-provoking books of our time is Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics (Verso) by Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass. The book asks the question: how could we actually have a future for Earth that is both green and socialist? The authors dive into the history of attempts to plan the economy, unearthing useful insights from neglected thinkers like Otto Neurath (developer of the very cool Isotype system). They combine utopian fiction and serious scientific analysis to offer a vision of what humans might be capable of if we put our know-how to work. It's very rare these days to have serious scientific thinkers trying to imagine the path to radical futures, so Pendergrass and Vettese have given us a wonderful gift that all leftists should debate and discuss. The book has an eclectic mix of influences, as the authors write:Half-Earth Socialism draws on ecology, energy studies, epidemiology, biogeography, Chilean cybernetics, history, eighteenth-century philosophy, Soviet mathematics, the socialist calculation debate, Hayekian epistemology, cutting-edge climate modelling, feminist sci-fi, and the forgotten tradition of utopian socialism.Vettese and Pendergrass have even designed a free computer game to go along with their book, in which YOU can attempt to plan the entire global economy, reducing emissions and the destruction of life while keeping the population happy. It's like SimCity but with the whole world, and instead of your task being to build a city it's to maintain a viable eco-socialist global government. GOOD LUCK!  

Cette semaine dans #histoirede, nous avons le plaisir de recevoir deux nouveaux chroniqueurs. Tout d'abord, Billal Tabaichount revient sur le parcours de l'intellectuel autrichien Otto Neurath. De son côté, Léon Guiyeke nous parle de l'esclavagiste Hamman Yaji qui au début du XXe siècle, alors que la traite est pourtant déjà abolie, perpétue sa pratique dans les monts Mandara au nord du Cameroun. Enfin, notre fidèle collaborateur, Daniel Lemire, nous présente les débats autour de la notion de « chrononymie » (ou périodisation) dans la discipline historique. À l'animation, retrouvez Marie-Pier Berthelet et Clément Broche à la technique.

It's gonna take some big ideas and even bigger actions for humanity to swerve the 2°C warming climate catastrophe coming down the road. So this week we're taking half the world away. Joining us on the podcast are Drew Pendergrass (@pendergrassdrew) and Troy Vettese (@TroyVettese) the authors of "Half Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change, and Pandemics".  Their book combines half earth re-wilding and the rich history of Utopian Socialism to illustrate a way of saving the earth from humanity and combating our hubris and domination of nature itself. We discuss the works of Otto Neurath, Leonid Kantorovich and Stafford Beer; using neoliberal thinking against neoliberalism, how and why Malthusian ideas on over-population are embedded into society and the problems that arise from it, and how to  create more efficient food chains through global veganism.LinksPick up a copy of half earth socialism from Verso books Here Check out Drew and Troy's website for more info: https://www.half.earth/Play the Half Earth Socialism the gamehttps://play.half.earth/Shout outsUAWD - United All Workers for  Democracy @UAWD_ReformTroy's girlfriend Shenuya Minesh Parekh - congrats on being elected for Crookes and Crosspool in Sheffield@min_eshFianna Hornby GND Councillor elected for Gorse Hill in Trafford@fiannahornbyAngela Brown GND Councillor elected in Heywood@Angel4brown598Support the show

I den så kallade Wienkretsen söktes under 1920- och 30-talen gränserna för det säkra och meningsfulla. Mycket av filosofin kvalificerade inte. Olof Åkerlund reflekterar över denna strävan. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. När jag en vinter för många år sedan drabbades av en allvarlig sjukdom hade de en dålig dag på lasarettet i den lilla universitetsstaden. Akuten och specialistavdelningen var båda överbelagda och de bråkade om vem som skulle behöva hantera ännu en patient. Till slut blev jag inrullad på ett kontor, och den enda information jag fick kom från en undersköterska som till svar på beredvilligt framsträckt pekfinger utbrast nej, där sticker vi inte om du skulle bli blind sen. Dagen efter flyttades jag till en helgöppen avdelning där jag fick dela ett rum med en bitter man som förlorat båda sina fötter till följd av sjukdomen. Det var av honom jag fick min första, mycket subjektiva, introduktion till hur mitt liv nu skulle gestalta sig. Det var kort sagt något omtumlande. Och som någon som främst alltid kunnat uttrycka sig och förstå saker genom skrift, så var jag mån om att få en anteckningsbok till sjukhuset. Jag antar att jag föreställde mig att jag skulle föra någon sorts dagbok, men det blev inte mycket skrivet. Jag gjorde bara några små teckningar, fram tills att jag vid ett tillfälle plötsligt tittade ner i anteckningsboken och såg att jag omedvetet hade fyllt sidorna med små uppställningar. Det tog ett litet tag innan jag insåg att det rörde sig som om de sanningstabeller som introduceras i Ludwig Wittgensteins "Tractatus Logico Philosophicus". Det handlar om grundläggande relationer i elementär logik, så kallad satslogik, och är på många håll än i våra dagar det sätt som filosofistudenter introduceras till logik som ämne. Enkel, skön och obestridlig sanning. När jag begrundade vad jag hade skrivit fylldes jag för första gången på flera dagar av något slags lugn. För den som har en vag bild av filosofi kan det låta märkligt att logik tillhör dess domäner. Men det går faktiskt tillbaka ändå till Aristoteles och handlar om det som alltid, på olika sätt och med blandad framgång, varit filosofins mål: att skapa klarhet. Och vad Aristoteles gjorde var inget annat än att systematisera grunden för allt detta - tänkandet självt. I hans verk Första analytiken som utkom på svenska år 2020 kan man själv studera denna alltför sällan uppmärksammade revolution i idéernas historia. Likt Euklides geometri skulle Aristoteles logik få ett längre liv än så gott som alla vetenskapliga teorier, det var egentligen först på 1800-talet som avgörande landvinningar skulle erbjuda en ny logik med nya möjligheter. Och då väcktes också hoppet om att kunna härleda hela matematiken ur logiken och ge det säkraste mänskligheten visste en ännu säkrare grund. Sjukdomen jag drabbades av var kronisk. Att säga att jag fortfarande lider av den är alltså en tautologi, ett påstående som uttrycker en utifrån förutsättningarna redan etablerad sanning om man talar om retorik, en sats som är sann oavsett vilket sanningsvärde man tillskriver dess variabler om man talar logik. Wittgenstein framhöll att hela satslogiken var tautologisk. Om man tycker att det får den att verka meningslös, så bör man fundera över om man även anser att datorprogrammering är meningslöst. Man kan kanske sammanfatta mitt nedtecknande av sanningstabeller på sjukhuset som att det i omskakande tider är en en tröst med tydlighet och klarhet. En period i behov av logikens tröst var onekligen tiden under och mellan de två världskrigen. Det var också då den så kallade Wienkretsen samlades. Matematikprofessorn Karl Sigmund ger sin högintressanta bok om dessa filosofiskt intresserade vetenskapsmän och vetenskapligt sinnade filosofer den passande undertiteln Filosofi vid avgrundens rand eller i original exakt tänkande vid undergångens rand. I kretsens kärna ingick framträdande samtida profiler som Moritz Schlick och Otto Neurath samt den framstående analytiske filosofen Rudolf Carnap. De såg sig som företrädare för den vetenskapliga världsbilden och ville göra sig av med alla sorters resonerande som inte stod på bergfast grund. Med i gruppen fanns också matematiska genier som Kurt Gödel  den främsta logikern sedan Aristoteles enligt Albert Einstein. Han skulle dock med tiden visa sig vara en metafysiker av platonska  proportioner, och representerade alltså i hemlighet allt gruppen bekämpade. Filosofin hade ju genom årtusendena, i takt med att metoder och teorier utvecklats, knoppat av sig i olika vetenskapliga discipliner. Det som återstod torde antingen kunna omvandlas till vetenskap eller förkastas som nonsens. Och med de nyvunna framstegen i logik så kändes tiden inne för nästa steg. Wien var en god jordmån  för dessa tankar. Härifrån kom fysikern Ernst Mach som hävdade att vi inte hade något jag bortom våra sinnesförnimmelser. Hans kollega Ludwig Boltzmann, tänkte i liknande banor, men i en berömd debatt dem båda emellan tog han ställning för atomens existens, vilken Mach förnekade. Och Boltzmann plågades av att de filosofiska problemen ständigt dök upp, hur mycket han än försökte göra sig av med dem. Särskilt frågan om varför något överhuvudtaget existerar gav honom mardrömmar. För Wienkretsen blev också Ludwig Wittgenstein snabbt en fixstjärna. Hans Tractatus förstods som ett försök att göra sig av med filosofisk spekulation, genom att med logikens hjälp visa på gränsen för det meningsfulla språket. De läste boken både ivrigt och ihärdigt och ur gruppen strömmade många olika försök att skilja på meningsfullt och meningslöst, pseudoproblem och verkliga problem. Svårigheterna med detta företag blev dock plågsamt tydliga. Vetenskapen är ju så mycket mer än matematik och logik, och likt Mach sökte många en fast grund i sinnesförnimmelserna. Olika förslag om att bara det som kunde kontrolleras empiriskt var meningsfullt, eller att meningen med ett påstående var identisk med metoden med vars hjälp man kunde bekräfta det, lades fram.  Problemet med alla dessa antaganden är förstås att de själva inte går att bekräfta empiriskt och alltså bör betraktas som meningslösa. Men för vissa i gruppen fortsatte korståget mot filosofin oförtrutet och de såg metafysik och mystisk spekulation i var och varannan buske. Denna misstanke restes också mot Tractatus av vissa av Wienkretsens medlemmar. De gjorde en enkätundersökning där de före, under och efter sin noggranna läsning fick bedöma de mest centrala av bokens 526 numrerade påståenden enligt en färgskala. Blått betydde medhåll, rött oenighet och grönt att tesen var meningslös. Som Karl Sigmund krasst noterar utgjorde enkätsvaren en brokig palett. Wittgenstein kom att lägga så gott som allt i Tractatus bakom sig, men han upphörde aldrig att försöka göra slut på det mesta av det som genom århundradena kallats filosofi. Hans utsagor om disciplinen har blivit legendariska. Filosofins syfte, skrev han i Filosofiska undersökningar, är att visa flugan vägen ut ur den flugfälleflaska den lockats ner i. Det är språket som ständigt lurar in oss i dessa fällor och varje fråga måste filosofin behandla som om den vore en sjukdom. Yttrandet får mig att tänka på fysikern Boltzmann som alltmer kom att plågas  av filosofins obeveklighet. Driften att filosofera liknar kräkreflexen vid migrän, menade han, den vill kasta upp något fast inget finns där, men, framhärdade han samtidigt, det är filosofins höga, majestätiska uppgift att bota mänskligheten från denna fruktansvärda migrän. Ja, kanske är filosofin i viss mån en sjukdom. Men efter 2500 år av försök med avancerad medicinering, huskurer, åderlåtning och andeutdrivning är det nog dags att vi accepterar att den är kronisk.

Jason Forrest, Director of Interactive Data Visualization, COVID Response Centre, McKinsey and Co, New York, gives the Department of Statistics Black History Month lecture, with a talk on the work of African-American scholar and activist W.E.B. Du Bois. At the 1900 Paris Exposition, an all African-American team lead by scholar and activist W.E.B. Du Bois sought to challenge and recontextualize the perception of African-Americans at the dawn of the 20th-century. In less than 5 months, his team conducted sociological research and hand-made more than 60 large data visualization posters for a massive European audience which ultimately awarded Du Bois a gold medal for his efforts. While relatively obscure until recently, the ramification of his landmark work remains challenging and especially important in light of the Black Lives Matter movement. Jason Forrest is a data visualization specialist, writer, and designer living in New York City. He is the director of interactive data visualization for McKinsey and Company's COVID Response Center. In addition to being on the board of directors of the Data Visualization Society, he is also the editor-in-chief of Nightingale: the journal of the Data Visualization Society. He writes about the intersection of culture and information design and is currently working on a book about Otto Neurath's Isotype methodology.

Abstract. Architects are commonly trained to craft two types of maps: representational ones, and those that serve as heuristic devices for design thinking. The latter make obvious by means of drawing aspects of space that could not have been preconceived. The Austrian philosopher and economist, Otto Neurath (1882 – 1945), was famous for his engagement with representational maps. He revolutionized the discipline of chart making by finding a way to create picture statistics and quantitative maps that were accessible to a larger public. In Sophie Hochhäusls paper however, she will argue that Otto Neurath’s map “City Planning” served not only as one of the first well-accessible socio-political maps of a city, but that it was in effect also a heuristic device.

Barbara Hahn and Christine Zimmermann are Von B und C, a design studio in Bern, Switzerland. They start by explaining how they got interested in infographics, visualising data as their graduation project, and how they work together (of coarse their collaboration can be best viewed in their self-designed ‘collaboration visualisation’). Analysis and visualisation is a much more complicated and time consuming process than design. They don’t have a preference for either, form and content go hand in hand. Next Von B und C reflect on the role of women, the ideal typeface in infographic design and their Leadership Alphabet. What kind of information do they like to work with most, what is their dream project and what are their information design heroes. What’s next? Have they cheated to improve visualisation? We end with their personal escapades. Recorded at the 33pt conference 2009 in Dortmund. Von B und C :: Leadership Alphabet :: Otto Neurath :: Jacques Bertin :: File Download (24:10 min / 28 MB)
