Additional quotes by Rudolf Carnap
In order to determine whether or not one sentence is a consequence of another, no reference need be made to the meaning of the sentences.

It is sufficient that the syntactical design of the sentences be given.

The task of making more exact a vague or not quite exact concept used in everyday life or in an earlier stage of scientific or logical development, or rather of replacing it by a newly constructed, more exact concept, belongs among the most important tasks of logical analysis and logical construction. We call this the task of explicating, or of giving an explication for the earlier concept; this earlier concept, or sometimes the term used for it, is called the explicandum; and the new concept, or its term, is called an explicatum of the old one.
