Carnap’s Conception of Philosophy
2012In one respect it seems easy to explain Carnap’s conception of philosophy: he is believed to be a proponent of scientific philosophy – or, stating it in other words, many believe that he tried to help to establish philosophy as an exact science. However in a later interview Carnap explained how this idea rested on a simple misunderstanding.

Synthese, 1960
Kant’s question ‘How are synthetic judgments a priori possible?’ precipitated the Critique of Pure Reason. Question and answer notwithstanding, Mill and others persisted in doubting that such judgments were possible at all. At length some of Kant’s own clearest purported instances, drawn from arithmetic, were sweepingly disqualified (or so it seemed ...

Analysis, 2011
In the present paper the tools of this argument are applied to another influential view, namely to the proposal that the analytical component of a theory is captured by its ‘Carnap sentence’. Recall that if S is a theory and S its Ramsey sentence, the corresponding Carnap sentence is the implication (S → S).

Philosophical Topics, 2006
I studied Kanťs philosophy with Bruno Bauch in Jena. In his seminar, the Critique of Pure Reason was discussed in detail for an entire year. I was strongly impressed by Kant's conception that the geometrical structure of space is determined by the form of our intuition.
