In The Logical Syntax of Language, Carnap explains how his entire theory of language structure came to him like a vision when he was ill. He postulates that concepts of the theory of logic are purely syntactical and therefore can be formulated in logical syntax.

   Extractions: Rudolf Carnap, a German-born philosopher and naturalized U.S. citizen, was a leading exponent of logical positivism Life The Structure of Scientific Theories Analytic and Synthetic Meaning and Verifiability ... Other Sources The Critique of Pure Reason . Carnap became especially interested in Kant’s theory of space. Carnap took three courses from Gottlob Frege in 1910, 1913 and 1914. Frege was professor of mathematics at Jena. During those courses, Frege expounded his system of logic and its applications in mathematics. However, Carnap’s principal interest at that time was in physics, and by 1913 he was planning to write his dissertation on thermionic emission. His studies were interrupted by World War I and Carnap served at the front until 1917. He then moved to Berlin and studied the theory of relativity. At that time, Albert Einstein was professor of physics at the University of Berlin. After the war, Carnap developed a new dissertation, this time on an axiomatic system for the physical theory of space and time. He submitted a draft to physicist Max Wien, director of the Institute of Physics at the University of Jena, and to Bruno Bauch. Both found the work interesting, but Wien told Carnap the dissertation was pertinent to philosophy, not to physics, while Bauch said it was relevant to physics. Carnap then chose to write a dissertation under the direction of Bauch on the theory of space from a philosophical point of view. Entitled Der Raum (Space), the work was clearly influenced by Kantian philosophy. Submitted in 1921, it was published the following year in a supplemental issue of Kant-Studien.

At university he studied physics, mathematics and, under Bruno Bauch, philosophy. Initially Carnap's main interest was physics but his intended studies were halted by WW I , during which Carnap served. Post-war Carnap returned to his studies, writing his dissertation, Der Raum , on the theory of space and time under Bauch. Following the acceptance of his thesis in 1922 Carnap continued to work on issues in physics from a philosophical perspective as a logical positivist .

Next Page VON BRAUN, Wernher (1912-77) , German-American engineer, known for his development of the liquid-fuel rocket. The German-born engineer Wernher von Braun, born Mar. 23, 1912 in Wirsitz (now Wyrzysk, Poland), died June 23, 1977, was a driving force in the development of manned space flight and directed the development of the rockets that put humans on the Moon. His interest in astronomy was stimulated from an early age by his mother. As a mathematical prodigy, von Braun was profoundly impressed by Hermann Oberth's book "Rockets to Interplanetary Space" published in 1923. Von Braun received his bachelor's degree at the Berlin Institute of Technology in 1932 and his doctorate in physics at the University of Berlin in 1934. Prior to graduating, however, his work on rocketry had won him a research grant from the German Ordnance Department. His rocket research group was reorganized (1937) at Peenemunde on the Baltic coast. Von Braun and a select team of engineers and technicians there developed the A-4 ballistic missile, later designated V-2 (second vengeance weapon; see V-2) and used against Great Britain in World War II. After the fall of the Third Reich, von Braun and more than 100 top engineers surrendered to the U.S. Army. After interrogation they were offered (1945) contracts to continue their research in the United States. This research was done first at Fort Bliss, TX, near the White Sands Missile Range, NM, and then at Redstone Arsenal at Huntsville, AL. Under von Braun the army produced the Redstone battlefield rocket and the Jupiter intermediate range ballistic missile.

The physicist would reply that this was true enough, but the inference was not very complicated. The procedure of measurement is so simple, so well established, that it could not be doubted that the ammeter would give an accurate measurement of current intensity. Therefore, it is included among what are called observables. Theoretical laws are, of course, more general than empirical laws. It is important to understand, however, that theoretical laws cannot be arrived at simply by taking the empirical laws, then generalising a few steps further. How does a physicist arrive at an empirical law? He observes certain events in nature. He notices a certain regularity. He describes this regularity by making an inductive generalisation. It might be supposed that he could now put together a group of empirical laws, observe some sort of pattern, make a wider inductive generalisation, and arrive at a theoretical law. Such is not the case. Theoretical laws are related to empirical laws in a way somewhat analogous to the way empirical laws are related to single facts. An empirical law helps to explain a fact that has been observed and to predict a fact not yet observed. In similar fashion, the theoretical law helps to explain empirical laws already formulated, and to permit the derivation of new empirical laws. Just as the single, separate facts fall into place in an orderly pattern when they are generalised in an empirical law, the single and separate empirical laws fit into the orderly pattern of a theoretical law. This raises one of the main problems in the methodology of science. How can the kind of knowledge that will justify the assertion of a theoretical law be obtained? An empirical law may be justified by making observations of single facts. But to justify a theoretical law, comparable observations cannot be made because the entities referred to in theoretical laws are nonobservables.

    Extractions: Not too long ago I was surfing around the Net in search of information on Rudolf Carnap. I found some decent materials, though they were not linked up through any central site. That moved me to write up the page you are looking at now. I have attempted to assemble such information on Carnap as is scattered through the web, including on-line texts, pictures, notices of events, and other materials. I have also posted and continue to post original content to the website. My aim is both to catalogue and to add to on-line information regarding Carnap's life and work. I have assembled an index of the syntactic variables which permeate Carnap's Logical Syntax of Language . I suspect readers of LSL will see the usefulness of such an index. A bibliography is given at the bottom of the entry on Carnap in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. You will no doubt have to scroll down to see the bibliography. I am also posting a bibliography of Carnap's works on this site . At the moment it is under heavy construction. Some works by Carnap, such as

18. Empiricism, Semantics, And Ontology
    Paper by Rudolf Carnap, first published in Revue Internationale de Philosophie 4 (1950) 20-40.  
    http://www.ditext.com/carnap/carnap.html
    
    Extractions: Revue Internationale de Philosophie 4 (1950): 20-40. Reprinted in the Supplement to Meaning and Necessity: A Study in Semantics and Modal Logic, enlarged edition (University of Chicago Press, 1956). Others object strongly to this procedure as violating the basic principles of empiricism and leading back to a metaphysical ontology of the Platonic kind. It is the purpose of this article to clarify this controversial issue. The nature and implications of the acceptance of a language referring to abstract entities will first be discussed in general; it will be shown that using such a language does not imply embracing a Platonic ontology but is perfectly compatible with empiricism and strictly scientific thinking. Then the special question of the role of abstract entities in semantics will be discussed. It is hoped that the clarification of the issue will be useful to those who would like to accept abstract entities in their work in mathematics, physics, semantics, or any other field; it may help them to overcome nominalistic scruples. 2.
