History
Vienna Circle
The Vienna Circle was a group of philosophical mathematicians and physicists who met to discuss the philosophy of science. Established in 1925, the group had a variety of members who formed the idea of logical positivism. They believed that their group had reached a "decisive turning point in philosophy"[4], but made sure to reference similarly-minded predecessors. Their influences basically consisted of all philosophers who disagreed with metaphysics or speculation, notably Ernst Mach, Bertrand Russell, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
