This open access volume is based on the 'Early Carnap in Context’ workshop that took place in Konstanz in 2017 and looks at Rudolf Carnap’s philosophy, documented in his recently released diaries, from a combination of historical, cultural and philosophical perspectives. It enables further evaluation of the diaries and traces newly found interrelationships and their systematic definition. From a cultural and historical point of view, Logical Empiricism and Carnap’s pivotal opus, The Logical Structure of the World, did not evolve in a vacuum. This applies equally in a history of philosophy context as well as under consideration of contemporary historical and cultural influences such as the socio-cultural setting in Vienna and Prague, the correlation between Logical Empiricism and Bauhaus modernism, the connection to the Life Reform Movement or the Youth Movement with its own life philosophy. Pursuing Carnap’s progression on a micro level of history and referring the results back to Carnap’s philosophy is now facilitated by recent access to his Diaries from 1908–1935. These shorthand records, reading lists, travel reports and notes constitute a valuable source for the research of networks and social movements which left their mark on him.
こういうアンソロジーも open access で発行されているのか。しかも CC BY 4.0 なので翻訳も自由にできる。もう分量としてもフォローするのがたいへんになってきているが、それでも「情報処理」をしたうえで所定の業績を上げている人も（もちろん日本にだって）いるわけだから、なかなか昨今ではお金を使わなくても時間と手間がかかる実務になってきている。もちろん、僕らアマチュアにしても自由に読めるものがこれだけあるのだし、もう既に何年も前からだが「研究に使えるお金がどうの」と甘いことを言って、自分たちで〈アマチュア・ハンディキャップ〉を捏造したところで説得力はなくなっている（プロパーは最初からアマチュアに下駄なんぞ履かせないし、もちろんそれでよい）。
