Description

Main purpose of this article is, by tracing Otto Neurath's work in visual communication through the relationship with his other works such as 'The Unity of Science Movement', to understand his ideological implication in ISOTYPE from broader point of view including its historical context. His early work on visual communication has been realized as 'picture statistic' called 'Vienna method' at 'Social economy museum', but his interest in statistics itself could be found in his activity at war museum in W.W.I. After his exile to Hague, he published 'International Picture Language' and devised the name of 'ISOTYPE'. In this book he especially stressed on the international linguistic property of the visual symbols. This turn from picture statistic to picture language implied his political intention of calling for co-operate activity on a line with his another project 'Encyclopedia of unified science' on 'the Unity of Science Movement' against the threat of fascism and totalitarianism in this period.
