The workshop bears the name of an important local - Ernst Mach (1838-1916), a native of Brno
and a longtime professor of physics at Charles-Ferdinand University (now Charles University) in Prague. In addition to his groundbreaking work in physics,
Mach was one of the founders of philosophy of science. Since the early 1900s, in Austria, the United Kingdom and elsewhere philosophers respecting science
and logic continued the legacy of Professor Mach. Alas, especially in the latter half of the last century, the tradition of rigorous philosophy flourished
overseas rather than in the place of its origin. By paying homage to Professor Mach, we wish to rejuvenate this tradition here as well.
