THE INSTITUTE VIENNA CIRCLE (IVC), an international nonprofit society for the advancement of a scientific world view, aims at the promotion, cultivation and dissemination of the philosophy of the Vienna Circle/ Logical Empiricism. This includes also the documentation, application and development of its results. In the spirit of the members of the Vienna Circle, the IVC adheres to an enlightenment conception of science which includes a commitment to the democratization of knowledge and of science and the critique of irrationalism, dogmatism, and fundamentalism in any form. In order to realize these goals, the IVC organizes conferences, lectures, edits three book series, and it maintains a library and an archive with material by and on Vienna Circle members and related philosophers.
