Translated by Rolf A. George. In this work Carnap engages with the ideas of Russell and Mach, and rigorously develops a formal theory of empiricism according to which all scientific terms are definable by terms of a phenomenalistic language (a view Carnap later amended). An important book collecting two of Carnap's most significant works. A Near Fine book with a slight separation between the backstrip and the textblock and a tiny bump to the corner of the front board; dust jacket is Near Fine with mild fading to the spine panel and the top of the front panel and a tiny wrinkle to the top corner of the front board.
