CARNAP, Rudolf (1891-1970). Der Raum. Ein Beitrag zur Wissenschaftslehre. Berlin, 1922. 8o. Original printed wrappers (edges browned, joints starting to split). FIRST EDITION of Carnap's first publication, his doctoral dissertation. SIGNED ("Rudolph Carnap") on the title.
"After the war, Carnap sketched a dissertation on an axiomatic system for the physical theory of space and time. He submitted the draft to physicist Max Wien, director of the Institute of Physics at the University of Jena, and to Bruno Bauch. Both found the work interesting, but Wien told Carnap the dissertation was pertinent to philosophy, not to physics, while Bauch said it was relevant to physics. Eventually, in 1921, Carnap wrote his dissertation under the direction of Bauch. His work dealt with the theory of space from a philosophical point of view. The work - entitled Der Raum (Space) - is evidently influenced by Kantian philosophy. Der Raum was published in 1922 in a supplemental issue of Kant-Studien."
