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 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.
