The Context and Development of Carnap's Views on Logic up to the Aufbau

Clinton Tolley (San Diego) gives a talk at the MCMP workshop "Influences on the Aufbau" (1-3 July, 2013) titled "The Context and Development of Carnap's Views on Logic up to the Aufbau". Abstract: I will identify key components of Carnap's early conception of logic, as it develops in the period leading up to the Aufbau, looking especially at Der Raum and also Abriss der Logistik. I will also situate the development of Carnap's views within the context of the main influences upon his thinking at the time. Finally, I will identify points of contrast between his views in this period and his views after the Aufbau.
