Abstract

Carnap gives a definition for a comparative concept of confirmation. For it he uses the notation “MC(h, e, h′, e′).” His defined notation is intended to be an explicatum for the explicandum: “the hypothesis h is confirmed by the evidence e equally strongly or more strongly than h′ by e′” ([1], p. 428).
