Carnapian Framework

The Carnapian framework, named after philosopher Rudolf Carnap, is a formal system used in philosophy and logic to analyze meaningful statements. It involves defining a language with precise symbols, rules, and criteria for identifying which statements are meaningful, rational, or valid. This approach aims to differentiate between statements that have clear meaning and those that are meaningless or beyond empirical verification, such as metaphysical claims. In essence, it provides a structured method to clarify and evaluate scientific, mathematical, and philosophical assertions, emphasizing clarity, logical consistency, and the adherence to formal rules.
