Who this is

“A physicist-turned-philosopher gathered the sharpest minds in Vienna around one Thursday-evening table, tried to rebuild philosophy on the model of science — and was shot dead on his own university's staircase by a former student.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 201

The big idea, in the book's words:

“A statement means something only if there is, at least in principle, a way to check it against experience — "the meaning of a proposition is the method of its verification."”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 201
