{"product_id":"9789024751273","title":"The Popper-Carnap Controversy","description":"\u003ch1\u003eThe Popper-Carnap Controversy\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMichalos, Alex C.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 In 1954 Karl Popper published an article attempting to show that the identification of the quantitative concept degree of confirmation with the quantitative concept degree of probability is a serious error. The error was presumably committed by J. M. Keynes, H. Reichen­ bach and R. Carnap. 2 It was Popper's intention then, to expose the error and to introduce an explicatum for the prescientific concept of degree of confirmation. A few months later Y. Bar-Hillel published an article attempting to show that no serious error had been committed (particularly by Carnap) and that the problem introduced by Popper was simply a \"verbal one. \"3 Popper replied immediately that \"Dr. Bar-Hillel forces me [Popper] now to criticize Carnap's theory further,\" and he [Popper] introduced further objections which, if accepted, destroy Carnap's theory. 4 About eight years after this exchange took place I was in graduate school at the University of Chicago in search of a topic for a doctoral dissertation. An investigation of the issues involved in this exchange seemed to be ideal for me because I had (and still have) a great ad­ miration for the work of both Carnap and Popper. A thoroughly revised and I hope improved account of that investigation appears in the first five chapters of this book. Put very briefly, what I found were four main points of contention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1971-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789024751273\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-3048-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 124\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481737851020,"sku":"9789024751273","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789024751273.jpg?v=1776436224","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789024751273","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
