I shall first present a sketch of the linguistic doctrine, and of its two versions—classical conventionalism which maintains that necessary propositions are true by virtue of meaning and Wittgenstein’s and Carnap’s alternative that they are constitutive of meaning (section I). Next I discuss classical conventionalism and some of the criticisms that have been raised against it by Quine and Wittgenstein (section II). In section III, I turn to Wittgenstein’s ‘grammatical’ version of the linguistic doctrine. My main interest will be to explore in how far it can stand up to the objections of reasonably sympathetic critics like Kalhat. In the final section I return to the question of whether there isn’t after all a kernel of truth in classical conventionalism, taking my cue from Schroeder.","PeriodicalId":317292,"journal":{"name":"From ontos verlag: Publications of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society - New Series","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133151651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What, on the other hand, is probably not so trivial is the fact that this kind of analysis emerged out of a different method that Wittgenstein for some time adopted and of whose limitations he little by little became aware until he finally rejected it. I have in mind the phenomenological method or approach. Regardless of how historically phenomenology has been understood and practiced, for Wittgenstein it was always the study of “immediate experience”, that is, the study of what is given to consciousness in a straightforward way. It seems to be an established fact that towards the end of the 20s, after his return to Cambridge, and probably under the influence of Russell’s thought and in particular of his crucial notion of “knowledge by acquaintance”, Wittgenstein toyed for a while with the idea of a “phenomenological” or “primary” language.","PeriodicalId":317292,"journal":{"name":"From ontos verlag: Publications of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society - New Series","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125653541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was part of his preoccupation with the visual. It was these two media (within the orchestration of various social tools) to which Neurath attributed highest effectiveness for the delivery of pertinent information, and empowerment to take part in society’s development, especially concerning that part of the population without access to academic schooling/ habits. Neurath’s practical and theoretical work with museums and exhibitions usually subsumed under the acronym Isotype and identified with ‘pictorial statistics’, challenged museum traditions, and is still considered avant-garde in many aspects. I shall briefly report on practical developments – museum, exhibition work – and on Neurath’s use of terms (picture, picture language, visual education) based on his writings on ‘Bildpadagogik’ (Haller and Kinross 1991, Vol. 3, Collected Writings). In a second strand, I treat some of the topical qualities of his museum and exhibition concepts (their relevance for today), using the booklet International Picture Language (1936), Neurath’s manuscript on ‘Visual Education’ (in Nemeth and Stadler 1996), and the example of the exhibition ‘Rondom Rembrandt’ (1937). Context and some materials: The museological background to this paper is found in my book Otto Neurath: Museums and Exhibition Work. Spaces (Designed) for Communication (2008, Peter Lang; http://www.peterlang.com/) and further research at the Isotype-Collection in Reading/UK which also led to an earlier article ‘Rondom Rembrandt’ (http://www.isotyperevisited.org/2010/01/ rondom-rembrandt.html).","PeriodicalId":317292,"journal":{"name":"From ontos verlag: Publications of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society - New Series","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126451926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using simplified pictograms as components, the Wiener Methode der Bildstatistik (later called Isotype) bypassed verbal language to a great extent, creating the potential for universal understanding of biological, social and economic correlations. However, despite its consistency and rigour, Isotype was not a complete language, and Neurath knew that it never could be. This paper will examine the linguistic characteristics of Isotype and describe the deliberate resistance on the part of its creators to develop a full theory behind it.","PeriodicalId":317292,"journal":{"name":"From ontos verlag: Publications of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society - New Series","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133701471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Otto Neurath: Mapping the City as a Social Fact?","authors":"Sophie Hochhäusl","doi":"10.1515/9783110330496.99","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110330496.99","url":null,"abstract":"1937 Map, 1937. Source: Architectural Record, July 1937, p. 56 In 1937 Otto Neurath (1882–1945) created a map that revolutionized the illustration of the city. Neurath was of course famous for his engagement with picture statistics and quantitative maps at large, but his 1937 map marked the beginning of a new tradition: socio-political mapping in the field of urbanism. Originally designed in color, Neurath’s map titled City Planning appeared in black, white and red in “Architectural Record” in July 1937 and accompanied the text, Visual Representations of Architectural Problems. Compound of ISOTYPE symbols, ISOTYPE hatches and the spatial abstraction of a city, this map was crucial to the discipline of urbanism, because it represented the first comprehensive solution in illustrating spatial implications and socio-political components. In addition the article directly responded to Neurath’s failed collaboration with CIAM (Congres Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne) in 1933 (Otto Neurath, “Visual Representation of Architectural Problems,” Architectural Record, July 1937: p. 56–61). But this map is not only crucial because it stood at the beginning of a new tradition and because it was Neurath’s answer to the largest mapping project of its time; the 1937 map is also important, because it marked Neurath’s culmination point of theorizing the city while at the same time putting an end to Neurath’s discussion on architecture and urbanism, which he actively engaged with for more than two decades. For the workshop “Picturing Social Facts. On Neurath's Visual Language” I want to elaborate on the evolution of this map in detail and explain how it came about that Neurath eventually pictured spatial parameters of the city as social facts. I want to do this by casting some light on Neurath’s ambivalent relationship with CIAM, but also in terms of Neurath`s specific skill and mind-set, which eventually superseded the architects’ undertaking in illustrating the city. In uncovering these roots, I want to stress that it was Neurath who introduced the field of urbanism to the socio-political analysis of the city.","PeriodicalId":317292,"journal":{"name":"From ontos verlag: Publications of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society - New Series","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134163530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
