Editorial Reviews
Review
"...an intensive examination of virtually all of Carnap's earlier writings....I believe that the book will therefore be indispensable for all future work on Carnap." Michael Friedman, author of Kant and the Exact Sciences
"Richardson presents a clearly written, carefully researched and well-argued interpretation of Rudolf Carnap's struggle to move beyond the neo-Kantian epistemology in which he was trained." Charles E. Kielkopf, Mathematical Reviews
"Richardson's book is rich in telling detail that will no doubt be debated in scholarly articles...It is an added bonus that Richardson provides good reasons for optimism." The Philosophical Review

5.0 out of 5 stars
an excellent resource on analytic philosophy,
By nicksherman@hotmail.com (Vancouver, British Columbia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Carnap's Construction of the World: The Aufbau and the Emergence of Logical Empiricism (Hardcover)
Alan Richardson does an excellent job of explaining and defending Carnap's project. Richardson combines his extensive knowledge of the history of philosophy (especially Kant and the analytics) and his ability to make clear otherwise difficult passages from Carnap. The book is informative, well-written, and very rewarding if a good effort is put forth into reading it.

This book is on the book "Aufbau..." of Carnap and the view of Richardson on it. Only interesting for specialists.
