The Logical Structure of the World
This work explains how a logical system of concepts can be based on, and can be reducible to, whatever is immediately given by direct experience. This approach to structural analysis is a kind of logical empiricism, affirming that all scientific statements are reducible to structural statements about basic elements of experience.
