from Philosophicallexicon.com


belnap, n. (from bel-, beautiful, + carnap) A carnap felicitously defined in ordinary idiomatic language (e.g. "synonymous" for "intensionally isomorphic").


-- Must say I like the idea!

Surely Carnap _meant_ what he said when he said it!

His personal page lists

1955 as his first publication.

--- Not sure where he was born. The "Jr." thing is very interesting and pro-American.

--- His "Tonk, Plonk, and Plink" is of course a genial classic -- repr. I think in Strawson, "Philosophical Logic", 1969. Indeed, it's 1967, and credited in his personal page, too.

His most relevant item here should be "Under Carnap's Lamp" which he links online.
