context

The subject of this essay is the dispute over what protocol sentences look like, or in general: what exactly protocol sentences are. Carnap would like to link the protocol records to the physical records. He thinks that physical language is ideally suited as the universal language of standardized science because it is intersensual on the one hand and intersubjective on the other .
