Research On Carnap's Principle Of Tolerance

In Quine's view,the most important philosopher since Russell was not Wittgenstein,but his teacher,Carnap.The great idea that Carnap replaced the traditional philosophy with scientific logic was actually not fully realized,First of all,Carnap's philosophical thought had an important influence on Quine's"naturalistic epistemology" and then indirectly on the scientific revolution theory of Kuhn,The historicalism represented by Kuhn indicates that the mainstream thought of Anglo-American analytical philosophy has realized a completely different way from logical empiricism to historicism.Although logical empiricism became history,but there is no denying that either Quine or Kuhn is in the study and criticize Carnap's ideas and to a large extent received the influence by Carnap's philosophy,at the same time,they have some achievements in the field of philosophy.Carnap's thought continued in another way,even as part of the contemporary Western culture,especially the Anglo-American philosophy.The core of Carnap's thought is embodied in its theory of meaning.At the same time,Carnap's theory of verifiability,the theory and thought of refusing metaphysics,inductive logic,modal logic and its physicalist related theory and thought,they are all built around the theory of meaning.Among them,Carnap's famous "the principle of tolerance" is a unique and important part of its theory of meaning,and deeply studies the realistic background and theoretical background of its "the principle of tolerance",as well as the concrete connotation and theoretical significance of the principle of tolerance,The influence of the principle of tolerance on the whole philosophical world is particularly important,so that the study of Carnap's principle of tolerance is imperative.Under the background of the whole philosophical community experienced the second great turning——"language turn",Carnap as a representative of logical empiricism,whose influence was largely influenced by Frege,Russell and Wittgenstein,Hilbert,Brouwer and others,among them,Carnap put forward its famous "the principle of tolerance" in order to solve the debate on the basis of formalism,intuitionism and logicism.Carnap is faced with the choice between the natural language and the formal language in the process of establishing the theory of meaning(for example,the principle of confirmation and testability),and the choice between phenomenological language and physical language.More importantly,Carnap found that in the "Logical Syntax of Language",we can construct the language ? that conforms to the intuitionistic requirements and the language ? that does not meet the intuitionistic requirements,these two forms of language are our scientific language.All this,forcing Carnap to put forward the basis for the choice of language form,he is based on the "the principle of tolerance." Carnap's view of the philosophical debate between the different genres is seen as a different form of language they insist on.According to Carnap's principle of tolerance,there is no right or wrong between the language forms with their own logical consistency,People can freely choose according to their own wishes to any language form,therefore,between different schools should be tolerant of different from their own logic rules of language form.The "the principle of tolerance" put forward by Carnap in the "Logical Syntax in Language" is of great significance in his philosophical thought.The recent development of Carnap's "principle of tolerance" has a direct effect on the emergence of logical pluralism.
