• Carnap (1891-1970) sets out, in an exact syntactical method, what he hoped were the necessary tools for working out the problems of the logic of science. The 1937 English edition, published by Kegan Paul, Trench Trubner and Co, London, includes sections that were in the original manuscript, but for reasons of space left out of the German Logische Syntax der Sprache , for which no date or publisher is cited.

• Available for the first time in 20 years, here is the Rudolf Carnap's famous “principle of tolerance? by which everyone is free to mix and match the rules of language and logic. In The Logical Syntax of Language, Carnap explains how his entire theory of language structure came to him like a vision when he was ill. He postulates that concepts of the theory of logic are purely syntactical and therefore can be formulated in logical syntax.
