Rudolf Carnap's entire theory of Language structure "came to me,"
he reports, "like a vision during a sleepless night in January
1931, when I was ill." This theory appeared in The Logical Syntax
of Language (1934). Carnap argued that many philosophical
controversies really depend upon whether a particular language form
should be used. This leads him to his famous "Principle of
tolerance" by which everyone is free to mix and match the rules of
his language and therefore his logic in any way he wishes. In this
way, philosophical issues become reduced to a discussion of
syntactical properties, plus reasons of practical convenience for
preferring one form of language to another. In a tour de force of
precise reasoning, Carnap also indicated how two model languages
could be constructed. This is one of three books which Open Court
is making available in paperback reprint in its Open Court Classics
series. The other two are Carnap's The Logical Structure of the
World and Schlick's General Theory of Knowledge.
