Question

A philosopher who gave his name to an early phase of this movement proposed that physicists consider “molecular events musically,” which later authors linked to his rejection of atomism. A philosopher from this movement analogized scientific knowledge to a ship that is rebuilt while actively being sailed. Early in his career, (10[1])a leader of this movement published The Logical Structure of the World, which Quine later responded to in (-5[1])“Two Dogmas of Empiricism.” Ernst Mach’s statement that “where neither confirmation nor refutation is possible, science is not concerned” anticipated this movement’s rejection of metaphysics (10[1])as part of its verificationist program. For 10 points, (10[1])Moritz Schlick and Rudolf Carnap (10[1])were central members of what group of Austrian logical positivists? ■END■ (10[2]0[2])

ANSWER: Vienna Circle [or Wiener Kreis; accept logical positivism or logical empiricism until read; accept neopositivism; accept Ernst Mach Society or Verein Ernst Mach until read] (The ship metaphor was proposed by Otto Neurath.)
