Carnap, Friedman e o revisionismo

Abstract

In this article we will analyze the work of Carnap in order to re-evaluate a period of philosophy of science whose influence can still be detected in current research of an empiricist orientation and should not be filed away simply as an object of historical research or literary nostalgia. We will evaluate the proposal of a revisionist reading of Carnap, in particular by Friedman, and we will conclude by articulating a minimalist position of Carnap’s philosophy, identified with the logic of science and concerned with the empirical interpretation of scientific language.
