CARNAP, R. (+) STEGMULLER, W.

Induktive Logik und Wahrscheinlichkeit.

Wien, Springer-Verlag, 1959. 8vo. In the original publishers full cloth. Minor sunning to spine. Ex-libris label [Danish philosopher Carl Henrik Koch] pasted on to pasted down front free end-paper. Occasional light pencil marks throughout. A nice copy. VIII, 261, (1) pp.

First edition of this recapture of Carnap's "Logical foundations of probability" from 1950 in which he constructs the theory of probability within logic. With the methods of symbolic logic, Carnap establishes that the logical process known as induction is the same as probability. This paves the way for analyzing induction semantically, and lays the basis for the development of a quantitative system of the logic of induction.
