Huge thanks to @eenphilsci.bsky.social and especially @tmarvan.bsky.social and @magdalenamalecka.bsky.social for a terrific program — and what a treat the historical retrospective on the Vienna Circle and the profound legacies of Eastern European philosophy in the plenary panel! 🤩 many thanks all 👏

What a successful kick-off of the PSA around the World - Eastern Europe! So many super interesting talks. Kudos to @tmarvan.bsky.social, @magdalenamalecka.bsky.social, @philsci.bsky.social and @eenphilsci.bsky.social for such a great job at organizing it! Looking forward to the next one on 14 Nov.

@apotochnik.bsky.social makes the important point that the Vienna Circle had also a conception of the public role of their philosophy. Some great pictures and quotes on the slides. Is this material published, Angela? I wish I was taking screenshots. Thank you for a fantastic talk!

Listening to the first panel on history of #philsci in CEE. Inspiring that so many colleagues around the world tuned in. A wonderful first talk by Marta Sznajder on Janina Hosiasson (her heartbreaking story below). Now Angela Potochnik on the role of Marie Neurath (Reidemeister) in the Vienna Circle
