	The Rudolf Carnap Collection
		Born in 1891 in Ronsdorf, Germany, Rudolf Carnap was educated at the Universities of Freiburg and Jena.
		After arriving in the United States, Carnap taught at the University of Chicago until 1952, was a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study from 1952 to 1954, and held a position at UCLA from 1954 until his death in 1970.
		Carnap made substantial contributions in the areas of constructional theories, physicalism, the epistemological foundations of physics and mathematics, the syntactical structure of language, semantics, modal logic, and probability theory.

	Carnap, Rudolf [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Rudolf Carnap, a German-born philosopher and naturalized U.S. citizen, was a leading exponent of logical positivism and was one of the major philosophers of the twentieth century.
		Carnap thus defines analytic statements as logically determined statements: their truth depends on logical rules of inference and is independent of experience.
		Carnap deals with (i) the distinction between observational and theoretical terms, (ii) the distinction between analytic and synthetic statements and (iii) quantitative concepts.

	Rudolf Carnap's The Logical Structure of the World
		Carnap defines a constructional system of objects as a system in which the objects of each level are constructed from objects of more elementary levels of construction.
		Carnap explains that the rules of a constructional system may also clarify the problem of whether or not the mind and body are two different substances.
		Carnap says that construction theory may also clarify the problem of what defines the nature of the self, in that the self may be defined as a unified expression of elementary experiences.

		Carnap, however, understands these statements as being meaningful because they are "true solely by virtue of their form" and follows Kant in defining them as analytic statements (Carnap 1959, 76).
		Carnap and Heidegger, as well as the philosophical traditions founded by the two, have a common point of departure, but proceed from there in opposite directions and thus arrive at diametrically contrary forms of philosophy.
		Carnap's best known example is the decision between idealism and realism (in the question of the existence of an external world), which is classified only as theoretically, but not as practically irre levant.

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": V. Brushlinsky: Carnap's ‘Elimination of Metaphysics’
		Carnap divides all propositions having a meaning into three classes: (1) Propositions that are true in virtue of their form alone (tautological or analytical judgments).
		Carnap holds that if language were built in accordance with strict logic, with arrangement of words into logical categories, meaningless propositions of the second type would be almost as impossible as meaningless propositions of the first type (‘Caesar is and’).
		Carnap painstakingly elaborates mechanistic, formal‑logic, scholastic schemes and criteria to determine the ‘meaning’ and the ‘sense’ of words and propositions without noticing that these very schemes and criteria are devoid of all concrete content and are therefore incapable of giving a correct idea of science or of metaphysics.

		Carnap's "The Old and the New Logic" appeared in the first issue of "Erkenntnis," the short-lived journal of the Logical Positivists, and showed the full pretensions of the young logical Positivists and the kind of energy that set their movement rolling.
		Carnap's purpose in "Psychology in Physical Language" was to show that every sentence of psychology may be formulated in physical language.
		In the case of psychology, Carnap stated that all of the sentences in psychology can be expressed in a physical language so that if the physical language were chosen as the system language then the protocol languages of psychology would become a subset of the physical language as a result all science would become physics.

		Carnap was one of the most influential of contemporary philosophers; he is known as a founder of logical positivism and made important contributions to logic, semantics, and the philosophy of science.
		The Logical Syntax of Language, 1937) he defined philosophy as "the logic of the sciences" and considered it a general language whose only legitimate concern could be to describe and criticize the language of the particular sciences.
		Carnap later modified this extreme view, which rejects almost all of traditional philosophy.

		However, Carnap’s principal interest at that time was in physics, and by 1913 he was planning to write his dissertation on thermionic emission.
		In 1928, Carnap published The Logical Structure of the World, in which he developed a formal version of empiricism arguing that all scientific terms are definable by means of a phenomenalistic language.
		Carnap was also interested in formal logic (Introduction to Symbolic Logic, 1954) and in inductive logic (Logical Foundations of Probability, 1950; The Continuum of Inductive Methods, 1952).

		Between 1910 and 1914, Carnap studied philosophy, physics and mathematics at the Universities of Jena and Freiburg.
		Carnap became a leading member of the Vienna Circle and, a strong proponent of logical positivism, the philosophy that holds that all valid philosophical problems are solvable by logical analysis.
		Except for a short period as a visiting professor at Harvard University (1940-41), Carnap was a member of the faculty at the University of Chicago between 1936 and 1952.

	EJAP 5:1: Price, "Carnap, Quine and the Fate of Metaphysics"
		Carnap's point is not simply that metaphysical claims are unverifiable, but that the activity of metaphysics relies on a confusion about what can be done with language.
		We have seen that Quine agrees with Carnap in rejecting global externalism in metaphysics (and that Quine's appeal to the failure of the analytic-synthetic distinction is largely a red herring at this point).
		Carnap's claim that traditional metaphysics is also guilty of local externalism turns out to rest on foundations which Carnap himself does not supply -- in effect, functional foundations for Ryle's notion of a category mistake.

	Rudolf Carnap
		Für Carnap bestand die Aufgabe der Philosophie in der logischen Analyse der (Wissenschafts-)Sprache, wobei er als einer der ersten Theoretiker versuchte, die bahnbrechenden logischen Arbeiten von Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell und Alfred North Whitehead für erkenntnis- und wissenschaftstheoretische Fragestellungen nutzbar zu machen.
		Von 1931 bis 1935 hatte Carnap eine außerordentliche Professur für Naturphilosophie an der Deutschen Universität in Prag inne.

	CHOMSKY, COGNITIVISM, AND CARNAP
		Rudolph Carnap in his " Testability and Meaning " avers that confirmation over verification is required when the sentences at issue involve theoretical terms, in particular theoretical terms that appear to "intervene" as explanatory of behavior under certain conditions.
		Carnap insisted on an operationalist approach to the introduction of theoretical terms such as solubility.
		What is important is the influence or Carnap's thinking on the matter of reduction and confirmation in psychology and indirectly at least, or so I maintain, on both Chomsky and the behaviorists.
