First edition. ‘All the premises on which science depends, when they are not of a purely conventional nature, rest on experience’: thus the exitus of this article, a decisive statement of the impossibility of a synthetic proposition being beyond empirical test. Carnap published it in response to an article by Schrödinger (‘Quelques remarques au sujet des bases de la connaissance scientifique’, Scientia, 1935), in which the physician advanced the claim that ‘science is not self-sufficient; it needs a fundamental axiom, a basic axiom from without’. Carnap’s demonstration of the invalidity and the non necessary quality of any form of synthesis a priori for the construction of scientific knowledge was, more broadly, an important statement on objectivity within the contemporary debate with other philosophers such as Neurath, Schlick and Popper.

See M. Bitbol, The problems of other minds: a debate between Schrödinger and Carnap, ‘Phenomenology and the Cognitive Science’, 3 (1), 115-123, 2004.
