job

Stadler's research interests include the modern history of science as historical science research, the philosophy of science and philosophy of science (in the form of an interdisciplinary History and Philosophy of Science ), the history, theory and methodology of cultural studies, as well as the history of culture and the humanities with a focus on the German-speaking scientific migration in the 20th century. His special expertise lies in researching the Vienna Circle and logical empiricism (including Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper ) including the history of its effects up to the present day, as well as in the critical development of its basic ideas in the context of today's basic philosophical research between analytical and continental tradition. In this area he found international recognition through his books on Ernst Mach and the Vienna Circle (in German, English and Spanish) as well as through his editing of 5 book series (including editions on Ernst Mach and Moritz Schlick ). Another area of ​​expertise lies in his Exile Studies, with publications on the emigration and exile of German-speaking scholars and intellectuals during the National Socialist era.
