Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Rudolf Carnap" in English language version.
The lead article in the book is a revision of Carnap's "Inductive Logic and Rational Decisions," the first version of which was printed in Nagel, Suppes, and Tarski, Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science (Stanford: 1962, as "The Aim of Inductive Logic". Its contents will perhaps be familiar to most readers of this book, but there are many important revisions (the views of De Finetti are taken into account explicitly), and what remains the same is so fundamental to Carnap's view that it bears rereading.

The first volume of this series appeared shortly after Carnap's death. Carnap's own contribution to Volume II is a continuation of "A Basic System of Inductive Logic" which began in Volume I. All but the final two sections were completed by Carnap prior to his death. Sections 20 and 21 are rough drafts which Carnap had not thought ready for publication. Professor Jeffrey is to be congratulated for having included these rough drafts in the volume. They are the most interesting portions of the Carnap essay.
