Carnap s Construction of the World Richardson Alan W.
This book is a major contribution to the history of analytic philosophy in general and of logical positivism in particular. The focus of the book is Carnap's first major work: Der logische Aufbau der Welt (The Logical Structure of the World). It provides the first detailed and comprehensive study of Rudolf Carnap, one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century philosophy.
Alan Richardson argues that Carnap's move to philosophy of science in the 1930s was largely an attempt to dissolve the tension in his early epistemology. It reveals tensions within the context of German epistemology and philosophy of science in the early twentieth century. This book fills a significant gap in the literature on the history of twentieth-century philosophy.
It will be of particular importance to historians of analytic philosophy, philosophers of science, and historians of science.
