Abstract

According to this view, “the theory of knowledge” as an “applied logic” turns on the construction of the systems of purely formal logic. The systems of purely formal logic do not constitute the theory of knowledge, but they represent the theory of the justificatory structure of sentences or propositions, which constitutes a necessary condition for the theory of knowledge. In the view of obtaining a comprehensive representation of the justificatory structure Carnap set himself the task of developing not only the systems of deductive logic, but also of constructing the systems of inductive logic.1 The systems of inductive logic that Carnap developed in the early ’50s were subsequently generalized by J. Hintikka and his co-workers.
