The Carnap entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy had been mildly updated, for the first time since its first publication in 2020. Most people won’t notice a difference, I suspect, though there have been small improvements throughout. The feedback we get about it is pretty positive; at over 100,000 words (with all its supplements), it’s a pretty comprehensive overview, and one of the longest entries in the whole SEP — longer than most introductory books on individual philosophers. Many people seem to find it very useful as a general-purpose first introduction to Carnap (the main entry) as well as a go-to reference on many different aspects of his work (the supplements). And the bibliography is huge.

Since this is the first post on this blog in a couple of years, I should mention that it will now gradually come back to life after this long hibernation. There is a lot to catch up on; I’m not sure exactly where to start, but the first few posts will inevitably be announcements of this sort. Never fear — I’ll get back to the more substantive things that get on people’s nerves before long.
