About Popper-Carnap controversy

Abstract

The paper gives a new light on the controversy between Popper and Carnap on the interpretation of probability and its use to solve the problem of induction. In his later work on probability and inductive logic, Carnap came nearer to the bayesian positions stressing an important shift from his earlier work. If we take into account these changes in Carnap's system, the controversy between the two philosophers becomes meaningless and there is not even any overlapping between their interests.
