Carnap and Wiener: a missed opportunity? - a podcast by MCMP Team

Sébastien Gandon (Blaise Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand) gives a talk at the MCMP workshop "Influences on the Aufbau" (1-3 July, 2013) titled "Carnap and Wiener: a missed opportunity?". Abstract: In 1913, Norbert Wiener, then a young (19 years old) prodigy, went in Cambridge to work with Russell. Wiener was very impressed by Russell’s constructionalist program, and, from 1914 to 1922, he published four papers (one is more than 100 pages long) extending Russell’s project. My talk’s first aim is to present these little known researches. My second goal is to draw a comparison between Carnap’s and Wiener’s reception of Russell.
