First edition. 8vo. xvii, [1], 607, [1] pp. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt, dust jacket (jacket slightly edge worn, spine panel lightly toned with tape repair to head, otherwise an excellent copy). Chicago, University of Chicago Press. The first of Carnap's systematic works on inductive logic, the other being The Continuum of Inductive Method (1952), in which Carnap distinguished between two concepts of probability: 'statistical probability', which was the relevant concept to be used in empirical contexts and generally estimated from the relative frequencies of events, and 'logical probability', which was to be used in contexts such as the confirmation of scientific hypotheses by empirical data.

First edition, first printing, presentation copy to a fellow American philosopher, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Alan Gewith, cordially, Rudolf Carnap". An excellent provenance: Gewirth was a professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago and wrote various influential books and articles on the subject of rights. Gewirth has annotated the book in pencil, chiefly underlining with one marginal comment. Carnap also worked at the Chicago philosophy faculty, focusing on logic. In the present work he seeks to place the concept of probability as a purely logical concept, anchored in inductive inferences. It was the longest book of his career by far. Octavo. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Slight sunning and lean to spine, slight bumping at extremities. A very good copy.
