Vianna Franco (WU Vienna University of Economics and Business)<br>16:00 Break<br>16:10 Discussion</p>\n<p><br>The panel highlights and critically discusses ideas of the two most prominent protagonists of scientific utopianism in Viennese Late Enlightenment: Otto Neurath and Josef Popper-Lynkeus. Particular attention will be paid to the following themes: 1) Neurath&rsquo\;s and (to a lesser degree) Popper-Lynkeus&rsquo\;s epistemology invokes a cautionary notion of rationality. 2) Neurath&rsquo\;s notion of rationality and his strict empiricism inspire a constructive refinement of H&auml\;ggqvist&rsquo\;s template for thought experiment in contemporary philosophy of thought experiments. 3) Popper-Lynkeus&rsquo\;s social program pioneers topical issues such as calculation-in-kind and universal basic income.<br>In the first talk\, Ivan F. da Cunha will offer a presentation of Otto Neurath's scientific utopianism as a methodology for thought experimenting in the social sciences. Neurath conceives scientific proposals for the transformation of society in a continuum with the utopian tradition. In this sense\, Neurath's utopias can be regarded as centerpieces of thought experiments\, opening a new front for contemporary discussions in philosophy of science.<br>In the second talk\, Marco Vianna Franco will present Josef Popper-Lynkeus's utopian social program as a peculiar form of universal basic income and discuss the underlying ethics which centers on the right to live and which Popper-Lynkeus claims to be rational and objective. Popper-Lynkeus's contribution to debates on in-kind accounting and provisioning systems bears broader implications for social and environmental issues in contemporary economic and political thinking.</p>\n<p><br><strong>Selected References</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cunha\, I.F.
