This paper contains the main content of the introductory talk held before the 9th International Summer Conference on August 10, 1953. It was written post factum and somewhat elaborated and extended. The underlying ideas were scetched for the first time in a session of the Epistemological Section of the International Society for Significs, held on April 12, 1952. Since then a paper by Carnap and Bar-Hillel appeared, which in some respects overlaps ours.
