WITTGENSTEIN AND PHYSICS CONFERENCE
This event will be a one-day conference on the 22nd November 2014 at St Cross College, Oxford on Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy and his influence on the emerging physics at the time, since the very nature of Wittgenstein's career provides a unique progression through various of the key developments in both physics and philosophy in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Topics will cover his early years in Boltzmann's Vienna, then his study in Planck's (and then Einstein's) Berlin, then his move to Rutherford's Manchester and eventually his arrival to join the cohort of great physicists in Cambridge in the 1930s and 1940s. Registration and attendance at the conference are FREE.
