Rudolf Carnap an John Dewey, 6. Juni 1934 Juni 1934

Dear Dr. Dewey

I was glad to learn from a letter of Dr. MorrisPMorris, Charles W., 1901–1979, am. Philosoph, bis 1951 verh. mit Trude Morris, danach mit Ellen Ruth Morris that you are interested in my paper about Philosophical ProblemsB1934@„On the Character of Philosophic Problems“, Philosophy of Science 1 (1), 1934, 5–19 (not quite well translated however). Later found as a result of this interest your questions published in No 2 of “Philosophy of Science”IPhilosophy of Science, Zeitschrift. I have sent an Answer to Mr. MalisoffPMalisoff, William, 1895–1947, russ.-am. Philosoph and suppose that it will appear in No 3 or 4. I am enclosing a copy of the Answer. I am not sure whether I have answered just the points of your questions in a satisfactory manner. More details you will find in my book “Logische Syntax der Sprache”B1934@Logische Syntax der Sprache, Wien, 1934. It will appear in about 2 weeks, and then I will send you a copy. If then some points should still not be quite clear, please let me know. It will be a pleasure for me to give further explanations, whether it be in private letter or in a public way.

I am glad to have the opportunity of seeing Dr. MorrisPMorris, Charles W., 1901–1979, am. Philosoph, bis 1951 verh. mit Trude Morris, danach mit Ellen Ruth Morris personally in July. I hope to receive through our conversations a more exact impression of your philosophical views also.

Some days ago I sent you a copy of “The Unity of Science”B1934@The Unity of Science. Übersetzung und Einleitung von Max Black, London, 1934. Perhaps the Introduction (“The Viennese Circle Does Not Practice Philosophy”B) will be of interest for you.

Very sincerely yours‚
ksl.
