XVII, (1), 607, (1) pp. First edition of Carnap?s important work on inductive logic which ?led to a renaissance in the use of probability theory to model the inductive process? (Cambridge Companion to Carnap). He here turned his attention away from the more traditional deductive inferential frameworks on which he had so far primarily focused and towards the newer probabilistic and statistical frameworks now being constructed and applied with increasing frequency in the physical, biological, and social sciences. Rudolf Carnap (born 1891 in Ronsdorf, Germany, died 1970 in Santa Monica, California) was an immensely influential analytic philosopher, who has contributed decisively to the fields of logic, epistemology, semantics, philosophy of science, and philosophy of language. He was one of the leading figures of the Vienna Circle, and a prominent logical positivist. He studied philosophy, physics and mathematics at the universities of Berlin and Freiburg, and worked at the universities of Jena, Vienna and Prague until 1935, when he, due to the war, emigrated to the U.S., where he became an American citizen in 1941. In America he became professor of the University of Chicago.

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.
