First edition of Carnap's important Introduction to Symbolic Logic with Apprications, which constitutes a highly important introduction to this foundational science of the 20th century. ""Die symbolische Logik ist eine Grundlagenswissenschaft ersten Ranges geworden, deren Bedeutung heute vor allem in angelsächsischen Ländern eingeschätzt wird. Nach den Worten des Verfassers, der, aus dem ""Wiener Kreis"" kommend, selbst massgeblich an der Gestaltung dieser Wissenschaft mitgewirkt hat, ist die Symbolik eine unter genauen Regeln stehende Sprach, durch deren Verwendung die Formen des eigenen Denkens verschärft werden können..."" (Front flap).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. In Jena he was appointed Professor of Mathematics, though his main interest at that time was in physics.After the publication of his first work, Carnap's involvement with the Vienna Circle began to develop. He met Reichenbach in 1923 and was introduced to Moritz Schlick in Vienna, where he then moved to become assistant professor at the university. He soon became one of the leading members of the Vienna Circle, and in 1929 he, Neurath, and Hahn wrote the manifest of the Circle.
