"This exceptionally complex work attempted to carry out the positive part of the program sketched in 'The Overcoming of Metaphysics by the Logical Analys…is of Language.' Metaphysics having been eliminated, and the very word philosophy having been gotten rid of (as Neurath wished), it remained to reconstruct the 'logic of science' - the syntax of scientific language - that was to replace metaphysics. Because syntactic propositions, no less than logical propositions, needed to be rigorously analyzed, the syntax had to be elaborated in terms of the language of science itself. This is the task Carnap sets for himself at the beginning of the book." (Delacampagne, p. 109) Original printed, light tan wraps, a bit of spotting. Uncut and unopened. A lovely NEAR-FINE copy of this important work in its original state. Housed in a custom slipcase with chemise. Book is also protected in an acid-free Mylar cover.

Translated by Amethe Smeaton. First edition in English. 8vo. xvi, 352, 8 [publisher's advertisements dated 1944] pp. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover stamped in gilt (spotting to top edge, contents otherwise clean and unmarked; just a hint of faint marking to cloth, otherwise quite a sharp copy). London,…Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co. Ltd. The first English translation of one Carnap's main works, which developed the distinction between object language and meta-language that was characteristic of Hilbert's formalism. It also introduced Carnap?s distinction between language used in the material mode and in the formal mode. In the material mode, sentences which appear to be about things in the world are in fact syntactical, formal sentences about language. 'One purpose of this book, in opposition to the view attributed to Wittgenstein, was to show that a language could significantly be used to express its own syntax. Another was to make good Carnap?s claim that philosophy, to the extent that it could be a cognitive discipline, had to consist in the logic of science, which was itself. identified with the logical syntax of a scientific language' (A. J. Ayer). From the library the British physicist Dennis W. Sciama (1926-1999), with his ownership inscription dated '1947' in blue ink to the front free endpaper and with a Trinity College Cambridge Rouse Ball Mathematical Prize bookplate to the front pastedown, Sciama is best-known for his contributions to the fields of astrophysics and cosmology as well for having supervised Stephen Hawking's doctorate thesis on Properties of Expanding Universes (1966).
