El. knyga: Language, Truth and Knowledge: Contributions to the Philosophy of Rudolf Carnap

European and American scholars of philosophy mull the thought of 20th- century Austrian logical positivist Carnak in 11 essays, all but one of which were presented at a July 2001 conference in Vienna, and appear in print for the first time here. Among their topics are truth, metaphilosophy, synthetic geometry, the unity of sciences, internal and external questions, skepticism under new colors, logic and epistemology, aprioristic versus naturalized epistemology, and Husserl's role in his Der Raum . One essay is in German. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This collection will prove a valuable resource for our understanding of the historic Carnap and the living philosophical issues with which he grappled. It arose out of a symposium on Carnap's work (Vienna, 2001). With essays by Graham H. Bird, Jaakko Hintikka, Ilkka Niiniluoto, Jan Wolenski, this volume will interest graduate students of the philosophy of language and logic, as well as professional philosophers, historians of analytic philosophy, and philosophically inclined logicians.
