The Unity of Science (Routledge Revivals) [Paperback]

As a leading member of the Vienna Circle, Rudolph Carnap's aim was to bring about a unified science by applying a method of logical analysis to the empirical data of all the sciences. This work, first published in English in 1934, endeavors to work out a way in which the observation statements required for verification are not private to the observer. The work shows the strong influence of Wittgenstein, Russell, and Frege.
