This volume brings together a selection of the most philosophically
significant papers of Arthur Pap. As Sanford Shieh explains in the
Introduction to this volume, Pap's work played an important role in
the development of the analytic tradition. This role goes beyond
the merely historical fact that Pap's views of dispositional and
modal concepts were influential. As a sympathetic critic of logical
empiricism, Pap, like Quine, saw a deep tension in logical
empiricism at its very best in the work of Carnap. But Pap's
critique of Carnap is quite different from Quine's, and represents
the discovery of limits beyond which empiricism cannot go, where
there lies nothing other than intuitive knowledge of logic itself.
Pap's arguments for this intuitive knowledge anticipate
Etchemendy's recent critique of the model-theoretic account of
logical consequence.
