Extract

Many of the essays in this volume were written about ten years ago and a fair amount of philosophical water has passed under the bridge since then. Nevertheless the appearance of the book at this delayed date is perhaps a good thing—and not just because it contains some of Carnap's final formulations. Philosophical fashions have shifted away from Carnap's preoccupations and the appearance of the book now may serve to remind the public how very impressive Carnap is, both in the substance of his work and the style with which he pursues the philosophical enterprise.
