Biographical History
Philosopher and classics scholar Heinrich Gomperz, born in Vienna in 1873, was the son of philosopher Theodor Gomperz. He was on the periphery of the Schlick Circle in Vienna, a discussion group organized in 1924 by the physics professor Moritz Schlick. This group was pluralistic and committed to the ideals of the Enlightenment, seeking to make philosophy scientific with the help of modern logic on the basis of scientific and everyday experience. Gomperz came to Southern California in 1936 as a visiting professor at the University of Southern California when his position at the University of Vienna was eliminated. Being Jewish, he decided to permanently emigrate to the U.S. in 1938, dying there in 1942.
