About this Item

In The Logical Structure of the World (1928), Rudolf Carnap analyzes the fundamental elements of experience, the derivation of qualities, the construction of sensory classes, and the construction of the special and temporal orders. In the short essay, Pseudoproblems in Philosophy (1928), Carnap advances the view, which was to become influential in the 1930s, that in many philosophical disputes, both sides of the argument can be discarded as strictly meaningless. This is one of three books that Open Court is making available in paperback reprint in its Open Court Classics series. The other two are Carnap's Logical Syntax of Language and Schlick's Theory of Knowledge.

About this title

Synopsis

Available for the first time in 20 years, here are two important works from the 1920s by the best-known representative of the Vienna Circle. In The Logical Structure of the World, Carnap adopts the position of “methodological solipsism” and shows that it is possible to describe the world from the immediate data of experience. In his Pseudoproblems in Philosophy, he asserts that many philosophical problems are meaningless.
