Voici le résumé de la conférence, susceptible d'intéresser les historiens des sciences, les épistémologues, les historiens des idées, les germanistes..., et plus généralement tous ceux qui portent quelque intérêt la Vienne fin-de-siècle et au contexte mitteleuropéen.

Abstract: "The Exner family was late imperial Vienna's foremost scientific dynasty; it included Nobel-Prize winning biologist Karl Frisch, the teachers of Sigmund Freud and Erwin Schrödinger, artists of the Vienna Secession, and a leader of the movement for women's education. In their roles as university administrators and as liberal advisors to the education ministry and to the upper house of parliament, the Exners shaped the content and values of the education system of the Habsburgs' vast empire. This presentation will consider the Exners' contributions to Viennese science, culture, and politics, as well the broader implications of their lives for the history of nineteenth-century Austrian science in relation to both private and public life."
