Abstract

The article is an excursus to several significant episodes of history related to de­velopment of semantic and Kantian traditions of reasoning within the framework of logical positivism. It is focused on an increasing role of meaning in philoso­phy, and on a struggle of “meaning” with “intuition” for the right to be consid­ered as a key constituent of justifiable knowledge. The material is presented from Alberto Coffa’s book perspective named “Semantic tradition from Kant to Carnap” which was translated in Russian in 2019, and original version of which was published in 1991. This book is historically the first comprehensive study of the development of logical positivism. It is an indispensable source for all future research in this area.
