Who was Walter Dubislav?
Walter Dubislav was a German logician and philosopher of science. After studying mathematics and philosophy, he attained a doctorate in 1922 with "Contributions to the theories of definition and proof within mathematical logic". In 1928 he became a private lecturer in philosophy of mathematics and the natural sciences at the Technical University of Berlin and from 1931 was Professor Extraordinarius. In 1936 he emigrated.
He was joint founder of the 'Berlin Society for Empirical Philosophy', which, along with the Vienna Circle, is one of the points of origin of logical empiricism. The founding members of the Berlin Circle were listed as sympathisers within the Vienna Circle.
Dubislav focused on a logical and mechanistic foundation of mathematics and physics, influenced by Bernard Bolzano's "Theory of Science". He presented a formalised account of Gottlob Frege's theory of definitions.
