Einheitswissenschaft (The Unity of Science).

TP + [3] = Inhalt + 5-30, large Octavo. First Edition. With a printed gift card stating "Überreicht vom Verfasser" (Gift from the Author) followed by the author's Prague address which has been affixed to the title page with an ancient (and rusted) paper clip. (Born in Germany, Carnap eventually became an American citizen and taught at both the University of Chicago and at UCLA.)A book largely concerned with the analysis of linguistic forms and the inherent limitations of language. Based on the belief that statements are meaningful only if they are empirically verifiable, in The Unity of Science Carnap endeavors to work out a way in which the observation statements required for verification are not private to the observer. The work shows the strong influence of Wittgenstein, Russell and Frege. In publisher's original light tan wrappers. A bit worn - especially at the top of the spine. There is a small former-owner's stamp to the Books of Gruner") and the rusting from the title page's paper clip has lightly stained the inside of this front cover (as it has the top of the Inhalt page. Still a remarkably well preserved presentation copy of this influential short book by Carnap. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.…
