		From 1936 to 1952, Carnap was a professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago.

	Rudolf Carnap's The Logical Structure of the World
		Rudolf Carnap’s The Logical Structure of the World (Der logische Aufbau der Welt, 1928) is an explanation of how a logical system of concepts may be based on, or may be reducible to, what is immediately given by direct experience.
		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.

		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.

	History of Twentieth-Century Philosophy of Science Book 3
		Carnap notes that in relativity theory Einstein used the Riemannian mathematical geometry as the axiomatic system for his physical geometry, but the reason for the choice of which mathematical geometry to use for a physical theory is not obvious.
		Carnap adds that in the actual process of science these two aims are almost always connected, and that it is seldom possible to make a selection of those properties that are most useful for the constructional definition of an object, until a large number of properties of the object are known.
		Carnap illustrates the relation between the two aims of science with an analogy: the construction of an object is analogous to the indication of the geographical coordinates for a place on the surface of the earth.

		Carnap's radicalism was first of all in engineering: the attempt to build the edifice of unified science — natural and social, from a single privileged foundation — mathematical and physical science, in which he did not succeed.

		Carnap was an analytical philosopher who was a member of the Vienna Circle, a group of philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, logicians and social scientists which met during the 1920's and 30's.
		Carnap was involved, among other things, with the construction of logical languages, and wrote "The Logical Syntax of Language".]
		I think it might lead to fruitful results if some of those logicians who find satisfaction and enjoyment in designing new symbolic systems would follow the example of Leibniz, Descartes, Peano and Couturat and direct their thought to the problem of planning an international language.
