About this Item
(38) pages; a critical essay on Carnap & his theories: ".despite the remarkable constructive power and ingenuity Carnap has brought to the reconstruction of inductive logic, he has not resolved the outstanding issues in the philosophy of induction, and his general approach to the problems is not a promising one." by Ernest Nagel (1901 - 1985) philosopher of science and long-term professor at Columbia ".Consistent with his other philosophical views, Nagel was critical of those historians who have tried to establish, on a speculative basis, general historical laws. In contrast, he was sympathetic with historians who attempt to propose tentative but intricate explanations of important historical events.He was among the most prominent philosophers of science in the United States of his generation." (Patrick Suppes in the ANB) Reprinted for private circulation from The Philosophy of Rudolf Carnap ed. by Paul A. Schilpp. Approx. 6" x 9 1/4" size; stapled light gray printed paper covers; slight wear to the binding; contents clean and in very good condition. Seller Inventory # 25561
