Carnap’s Conception of Philosophy

Wolfgang Kienzler

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In 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. When asked about the term ‘scientific philosophy’ he replied: These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
