The Vienna circle started a small philosophical society meeting on every [[Thursday]] evening from 1924 onwards. Many members were leading Austrian mathmaticians, scientists and philosophers. <ref>http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/vienna-circle/#BasPerActOveDoc 2.2:Activities</ref>. Its rise in prestige started in [[1929]], when it started [[lecture]] series on [[mathematics]] and [[philosophy]] and published a great amount of material on the mathetmatical and logical basis of philosophy. It quickly gained an [[international]] profile, collaborating with the [[Berlin Society]] to produce an annual journal on philosophy and science. <ref>http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/vienna-circle/#BasPerActOveDoc 2.3:</ref>
