Marcel Boll
Marcel Boll (15 September 1886, Paris – 12 August 1971, Paris) was a French scientist, sociologist, philosopher, educator, scientific journalist (journalist specializing in scientific topics), and a founding member (1930) of the Rationalist Union (French: ''Union rationaliste''). Boll was one of the most prolific contributors of articles to ''Les Cahiers Rationalistes'' (The Rationalist Notebooks) and ''Raison Présente'' (Reason Present), two journals published by the Rationalist Union. He was one of the main popularizers of the theory of relativity, the quantum theory, and other aspects of the physical sciences during the interwar period (1918-1939) and in the early 1950s. An advocate of neopositivism, his numerous works on physics, philosophy, sociology, education, and other subjects all reflect his neopositivist perspective. He was the first person to draw the French public's attention to the Vienna Circle (German: ''der Wiener Kreis''). Louis Rougier (1889-1982) and Général Charles-Ernest Vouillemin (1865-1954) later joined Boll in being among the first to introduce and promote the Vienna Circle and its overall philosophical outlook (logical positivism) in France.
