Excellent- More about The Vienna Circle and Religion
This book explores the relationship between logical empiricists and religion, challenging the perception of the Vienna Circle as anti-metaphysical and non-religious. It reveals that several members, including Schlick himself, addressed dualisms such as faith/belief and knowledge, religion and science. Additionally, it discusses the work of Kurt Gödel on theology and the ontological proof of God in his unpublished notebooks, providing new insights into the Circle's philosophical and political pluralism.

This comprehensive and meticulously researched book delves into the intricate relationship between logical empiricists and religion, as well as theology, offering a fresh and surprising perspective on the renowned Vienna Circle. Contrary to the prevalent notion of the Circle as a staunchly anti-metaphysical and non-religious movement, the book reveals that several prominent members, including Rudolf Carnap, Otto Neurath, Philipp Frank, Edgar Zilsel, and even Moritz Schlick himself, engaged in profound discussions regarding the dualisms of faith and belief, religion and science. What sets this work apart is its exploration of the complex interplay between these individuals' non-cognitivist commitment to Enlightenment values and their exploration of these theological and philosophical issues.
One notable exception to this trend was the philosopher and Rabbi Joseph Schächter, who, following the linguistic turn, wrote extensively on the intersection of religion and philosophy. Additionally, the book sheds light on the enigmatic figure of Kurt Gödel, a renowned logician who delved into theology and the ontological proof of God in his unpublished notebooks.
Through its exploration of internal philosophical and political pluralism within the Vienna Circle, this book offers a novel and insightful perspective on this influential intellectual movement. It appeals to philosophers, historians, and anyone with an interest in the complex relationship between science and religion, providing valuable insights and perspectives.
