Rudolf Carnap Knihy

Tretí zväzok Malej antológie filozofie 20. storočia obsahuje projekty filozofie a filozofie vedy, ktoré vznikli v prvých desaťročiach dvadsiateho storočia a mali charakter scientizácie možného chápania filozofie. Pre toto obdobie je typická predstava, že takmer všekty dôležité problémy súčasnosti nemajú bez využitia vedy veľké šance na úspech. V tomto zväzku sa čitateľ zoznámi s názormi M. Schlicka, R. Carnapa, O. Neuhartha, C. G. Hempela, H. Reichenbacha a A. J. Ayera. editori: F. Mihina, T. Sedová, M. Zouhar

Rudolf Carnap patrí k vedúcim osobnostiam analytického prúdu vo filozofii 20. storočia. V knihe Význam a nevyhnutnosť sa pokúsil nájsť vhodné definície bežných sémantických pojmov a podať sémantickú analýzu významu a modalít. Ide o priekopnícke dielo v oblasti intenzionálnej logiky.

One of the most creative philosophers of the 20th century, Rudolf Carnap presented a series of science lectures at the University of California in 1958. The present volume is an outgrowth of that seminar, which dealt with the philosophical foundations of physics. Edited by Martin Gardner from transcripts of Carnap's classroom lectures and discussions, the book remains one of the clearest and soundest introductions to the philosophy of science.Specially designed to appeal to a wide range of readers, An Introduction to thePhilosophy of Science offers accessible coverage of such topics as laws and probability, measurement and quantitative language, the structure of space, causality and determinism, theoretical laws and concepts and much more. Stimulating and thought-provoking, the text will be of interest to philosophers, scientists and anyone interested in logical analysis of the concepts, statements and theories of science. Its clear and readable style help make it "the best book available for the intelligent reader who wants to gain some insight into the nature of contemporary philosophy of science" ― Choice. Foreword to the Basic Books Paperback Edition, 1974 (Gardner); Preface (Carnap); Foreword to the Dover Edition (Gardner). 35 black-and-white illustrations. Bibliography.

Focusing on a new approach to semantical analysis, the book introduces the method of extension and intension, which redefines the understanding of linguistic meanings. By modifying traditional concepts of class and property, it contrasts this innovative method with conventional semantical approaches that treat expressions as names of entities. Instead, it emphasizes that expressions embody both an intension and an extension, offering a fresh perspective on meaning in language.

In seinem 1928 erschienenen Hauptwerk Der logische Aufbau der Welt unternahm Rudolf Carnap den Versuch, die erkenntnistheoretische These des englischen Empirismus, nach der die Basis aller unserer Wirklichkeitserkenntnis in Wahrnehmungserlebnissen bestehe, durch die methodische und zugleich logisch einsichtige Konstruktion der Gegenstandswelt aus solcherart bestimmten Elementarerlebnissen zu untermauern. Neu und richtungweisend an diesem Ansatz war der Gebrauch, den Carnap - er war Schüler Freges - 'von den Hilfmitteln der modernen Logik, besonders der von Russell entwickelten Relationenlogik, machte, und die Rücksicht auf die psychologische Erkenntnis, daß die einfachen Sinnesdaten nicht Erlebnisse sind, sondern erst rückwärts aus den Erlebnissen erschlossen werden müssen' (Günter Patzig).
