Erkenntnis
''Erkenntnis'' is a journal of philosophy that publishes papers in analytic philosophy. Its name is derived from the German word "Erkenntnis", meaning "knowledge, recognition". The journal was also linked to organisation of conferences, such as the Second Conference on the Epistemology of the Exact Sciences, of which it published the papers and accounts of the discussions. First series (1930–1940) When Hans Reichenbach and Rudolf Carnap took charge of ''Annalen der Philosophie und philosophischen Kritik'' in 1930 they renamed it ''Erkenntnis'', under which name it was published 1930–1938. The journal was published by the '' Gesellschaft für Empirische Philosophie'', or the Berlin Circle and the Verein Ernst Mach, Vienna. In the first issue Reichenbach noted that the editors hoped to gain a better understanding of the nature of all human knowledge through consideration of the procedures and results of a variety of scientific disciplines, whilst also hoping that philosophy need ...

Verein Ernst Mach
The Vienna Circle (german: Wiener Kreis) of Logical Empiricism was a group of elite philosophers and scientists drawn from the natural and social sciences, logic and mathematics who met regularly from 1924 to 1936 at the University of Vienna, chaired by Moritz Schlick.
