GURVITCH, Georges
Dordrecht-Holland: D. Reidel Publishing Company, 1964.

Synthese aims at publishing contributions to the study of the foundations and the methodology of science, the analysis of its linguistic aspects and to the study of its psychological and sociological implications. This programme implies studies as referred to in the following items: The recent development of logic, smiotics, significs and other theories of signs, expecially in their relations to foundation problems. Contribution to semantics, not only "theoretical semantics" in the sense of Tarski and Carnap, but also "empirical sematics" as intended by Arne Naess. Studies on the verfiability theory of meaning in its present status.

The impact of modern information and communication theory on traditional and epistemological problems. Empirical investigations concerning evaluations in different social and ideological groups.
