LECTURES ON CARNAP
Quine gave three lectures on Carnap's Philosophy of Logical Syntax at Harvard in 1934. The first of these lectures provided the basis for the paper Truth by Convention [Quine36].
Background
A few words placing the lectures in historical context.
Lecture I: The A Priori
Quine's first lecture addresses primarily the concept of analyticity and also the a priori, not professing to be an account of Carnap's philosophy, but rather as providing introductory background prior to an account of Carnap's philosophy of logical syntax in the second and third lectures.
Lecture II: Syntax
On Carnap's syntactic methods and the method of arithmetisation.
Lecture III: Philosophy as Syntax
Here Quine tells the story of how these syntactic methods are to transform philosophy.
