These two volumes contain all of my articles published between 1956
and 1975 which might be of interest to readers in the
English-speaking world. The first three essays in Vol. 1 deal with
historical themes. In each case I as far as possible, meets con
have attempted a rational reconstruction which, temporary standards
of exactness. In The Problem of Universals Then and Now some ideas
of W.V. Quine and N. Goodman are used to create a modern sketch of
the history of the debate on universals beginning with Plato and
ending with Hao Wang's System L. The second article concerns Kant's
Philosophy of Science. By analyzing his position vis-a-vis I.
Newton, Christian Wolff, and D. Hume, it is shown that for Kant the
very notion of empirical knowledge was beset with a funda mental
logical difficulty. In his metaphysics of experience Kant offered a
solution differing from all prior as well as subsequent attempts
aimed at the problem of establishing a scientific theory. The last
of the three historical papers utilizes some concepts of modern
logic to give a precise account of Wittgenstein's so-called Picture
Theory of Meaning. E. Stenius' interpretation of this theory is
taken as an intuitive starting point while an intensional variant
of Tarski's concept of a relational system furnishes a technical
instrument. The concepts of inodel world and of logical space,
together with those of homomorphism and isomorphism be tween model
worlds and between logical spaces, form the conceptual basis of the
reconstruction."
