世界的逻辑构造

简介

Carnap wrote the book in the mid-1920s and used it as his habilitation thesis in Vienna; it appeared in Berlin in 1928. It sketches a “constitution system” in which all concepts of science are defined step by step from a narrow basis. As basis Carnap chooses “elementary experiences” – momentary total experiences – and a single relation between them, the recollection of similarity. From these he constructs qualities, the senses, physical objects, other minds and cultural objects. He presents this experiential starting point, “methodological solipsism”, as one possible choice among others. Nelson Goodman developed the method further, and Quine’s “Two Dogmas” attacked the reductionism behind it.
