Preparation for publication of six volumes of the works of the 20th century philosopher Rudolf Carnap. (36 months).

Rudolf Carnap was among the most important philosophers of the 20th Century. The early part of his career was spent in Germany and Austria, and the later part in the US; and his early works were published in German, and the later ones in English. Funds are requested to support the production of the first six volumes of his Collected Works, including translation from the original German of many of Carnap's most important works. Specifically, the Project Director (PD) will (i) collaborate with the German editors on the German text, (ii) collaborate with the American editors on the English translations, and (iii) coordinate production of the editorial introductions and notes to these six volumes of the Carnap Edition. The PD is an internationally recognized logician, philosopher, and Carnap scholar and a skilled bilingual editor, with a track record of successful prior editorial collaboration and publication.
