LanguageAccuracy and Logic

LanguageTruth and Logic Book Description One of the leading British philosophers of the TWENTIETH CENTURY, A:J. We first published Ayer's most well-known work in December 1984. As we publish its new edition today, we believe that the book still maintains its importance. Language, Truth and Logic examines the structure of philosophical propositions and the relationship between philosophy and empirical sciences. A new identity for the *philosopher* and a new function for philosophy have been sought since the beginning of the century. What the philosopher says is viewed with more skepticism. Seeking an answer to this problem with a positivism built on the tradition of Russell and Wittgenstein, Ayer argues that there is nothing in the nature of philosophy that would justify the existence of conflicting schools of philosophy; he determines the function of philosophy as only illuminating scientific propositions. This book is a powerful answer to metaphysics and It has become a classic for philosophy texts with its combative and simple language.
