How Carnap Should Bite Goodman's BulletGoodman's famous objection to Carnap's Aufbau is its method of construction, quasi-analysis, fails on logical grounds. It does indeed.

Far from seeing the logical failures of quasi-analysis as fatal to that enterprise, one may actually see them as having the potential of enriching it.
