Moritz Schlick

Moritz Schlick was a German philosopher and physicist best known as the founding member of the Vienna Circle, a group that played a key role in the development of logical positivism in the early 20th century. This philosophical movement emphasized the use of logic and scientific evidence as the basis for knowledge, rejecting metaphysics and speculative philosophy. Schlick believed that philosophical problems could often be clarified or resolved through a careful analysis of language and meaning. His work significantly influenced the philosophy of science and the philosophy of language, promoting a more scientific approach to understanding reality.
