| Abstract |
In this study, primary sources were used to discuss the design, contents, and context of the atlas created by Otto Neurath, the "Society and Economy." By analyzing sketches, notes, and other sources, ...it is clear that the makers of the "Society and Economy" attempted to standardize not only the atlas's symbols, but its entire design, including its colors, maps, format, and typography. Next, by analyzing the organization of its contents, we will see that the atlas reflects Neurath's philosophical ideas. The most important context for considering the atlas comes from Neurath's collaboration with Paul Otlet on their encyclopedic "Atlas of Civilization" project. Neurath saw his "Society and Economy" atlas as being the first step in realizing the "Atlas of Civilization." In regard to the points mentioned above, the "Society and Economy" can be said to an important work that became the cornerstone for Neurath's future activities.show more
