Rudolf Carnap (1891-1970) was among the most important representatives of interwar European philosophy as well as of postwar American analytic philosophy. His early diaries, with whom the edition of his writings from the estate is opened, offer unique insights into the motives and thoughts of a key figure of twentieth-century philosophy and provide indispensable information on the genesis and background of Carnap's work, but also on the (pre)history of the Vienna Circle and Logical Empiricism. Rudolf Carnap (1891-1970) war einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der europäischen Philosophie der Zwischenkriegszeit wie auch der amerikanischen analytischen Philosophie der Nachkriegszeit. Seine frühen Tagebücher, mit deren Edition die Ausgabe seiner Schriften aus dem Nachlass eröffnet wird, bieten einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Motive und Gedanken einer Schlüsselfigur der Philosophie des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts und liefern unerlässliche Informationen zu Entstehung und Hintergrund von Carnaps Werk, aber auch zur (Vor-)Geschichte des Wiener Kreises und des Logischen Empirismus.

This open access volume is based on the 'Early Carnap in Context’ workshop that took place in Konstanz in 2017 and looks at Rudolf Carnap’s philosophy, documented in his recently released diaries, from a combination of historical, cultural and philosophical perspectives. It enables further evaluation of the diaries and traces newly found interrelationships and their systematic definition. From a cultural and historical point of view, Logical Empiricism and Carnap’s pivotal opus, The Logical Structure of the World, did not evolve in a vacuum. This applies equally in a history of philosophy context as well as under consideration of contemporary historical and cultural influences such as the socio-cultural setting in Vienna and Prague, the correlation between Logical Empiricism and Bauhaus modernism, the connection to the Life Reform Movement or the Youth Movement with its own life philosophy. Pursuing Carnap’s progression on a micro level of history and referring the results back to Carnap’s philosophy is now facilitated by recent access to his Diaries from 1908–1935. These shorthand records, reading lists, travel reports and notes constitute a valuable source for the research of networks and social movements which left their mark on him.

This open access book is the first ever collection of Karl Popper's writings on deductive logic. Karl R. Popper (1902-1994) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. His philosophy of science ("falsificationism") and his social and political philosophy ("open society") have been widely discussed way beyond academic philosophy. What is not so well known is that Popper also produced a considerable work on the foundations of deductive logic, most of it published at the end of the 1940s as articles at scattered places. This little-known work deserves to be known better, as it is highly significant for modern proof-theoretic semantics. This collection assembles Popper's published writings on deductive logic in a single volume, together with all reviews of these papers. It also contains a large amount of unpublished material from the Popper Archives, including Popper's correspondence related to deductive logic and manuscripts that were (almost) finished, but did not reach the publication stage. All of these items are critically edited with additional comments by the editors. A general introduction puts Popper's work into the context of current discussions on the foundations of logic. This book should be of interest to logicians, philosophers, and anybody concerned with Popper's work.
