Carnap

Does anyone know where I can get a free download of this book?

Disclaimer: I have not read Quine or the positivists.

Seems to me that one would want to read Quine as, I believe, his response to the logical positivists in "Two Dogmas of Empiricism" is still regarded as 'current'.

That is, I imagine a lot of the work in this text is outdated, or has been refuted. Perhaps read a summary of the arguments rather than actually spend time with the text?

Good thread, btw. I am very much interested in this line of philosophy, and plan to get around to it.

Check out Zammito's _Derangement of Epistemes_ regarding Quine

>I imagine a lot of the work in this text is outdated, or has been refuted.

this is true in a sense, but carnap is undergoing a bit of a revival in some analytic circles lately (people calling themselves neo-carnapians and so on). his views, strictly as he expressed them, are widely rejected, but the spirit of them is popular and a number of people are trying to resuscitate parts of his project (david chalmers being the most prominent example)

What else do you base claims on? Hint: there're more than five senses.

>spirit of them
can you expand on this?

how the fuck can this thread dies when there are so many analytical people here
