...which would have been appalling to Schlick. Philosopher Martin Kusch (Vienna) kindly gave permission to share this statement:
JOINT STATEMENT REGARDING HANS JÜRGEN WENDEL'S PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE GERMAN FAR-RIGHT "ALTERNATIVE FOR GERMANY" (AfD) PARTY
As has been widely reported in the German media, the current co-editor of the Moritz Schlick Gesamtausgabe, prof. em. Hans Jürgen Wendel, has joined the German far-right AfD party, and given interviews in support of the AfD. This action completely contradicts the life and work of Moritz Schlick and the philosophy of the Vienna Circle generally. The Institute Vienna Circle and the Vienna Circle Society are committed, in their objectives and principles, to the values of the historical Vienna Circle. Together with the Moritz Schlick Forschungsstelle at the University of Rostock and the Springer Verlag Wiesbaden, we are aiming to reorganize the editing of Schlick's works.
