About this Item

TP + [III]-VII = Vorwort + IX-XI = Inhalt + [1]-274 + [275]-[276] = Publisher's Advertisements, Octavo. First Edition. "This exceptionally complex work attempted to carry out the positive part of the program sketched in 'The Overcoming of Metaphysics by the Logical Analysis 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 worn and with one small bit of the lower front corner missing. The spine is noticeably darker than the front or rear wraps. Uncut and unopened. A lovely copy of this important work its original state. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
