As a leading member of the Vienna Circle, Carnap's aim was to bring about a "unified science" by applying a method of logical analysis to the empirical data of all the sciences. This work endeavors to work out a way in which the observation statements required for verification are not private to the observer. The work shows the strong influence of Wittgenstein, Russell, and Frege. This, the first English translation, was revised by Carnap for this edition.
