How To Develop a Theory of Truth

January 3rd, 2007 § 0

Wittgenstein’s ideas concerning truth were rather generally adopted by the early Viennese Circle. The first to raise doubts, which soon developed into a very energetic opposition, was Dr. Neurath. The first who recognised the importance of Neurath’s ideas was Prof. Carnap. He joined some of his most important theses and gave them a more precise form, and he and Neurath, mutually exciting each other, developed these ideas to the theory of truth we shall deal with.
