Carnap and the Perils of Ramseyfication

2009
Frank Ramsey's proposed regimentation of the theoretical terms of scientific theories has been much discussed recently as an articulation of the position of "structural realism", a position intended to take its place between scientific realism and its denials.

Going Global: Carnap’s Voluntarism and Price’s Expressivism

The Monist, 2018
Huw Price has sketched a program for a globalized expressivism in support of which he has repeatedly invoked Rudolf Carnap (and what he calls "the Carnap thesis"). This paper argues that this is entirely appropriate, as Carnap had something quite similar

Carnap’s Criterion of Logicality

2009
Characterizing in a principled manner the distinction between logical and non-logical expressions has been a longstanding issue in the philosophy of logic. In The Logical Syntax of Language, Carnap proposes a syntactic solution to this problem, which aims at grounding the claim that logic and mathematics are analytic. Roughly speaking, his idea is that
