A.J. AYER AND THE ELIMINATION OF METAPHYSICS

A.j. Ayer And The Elimination Of Metaphysics
 
ABSTRACT
A.J Ayer a logical positivist and indeed at all his fellow logical positivists were moved by the achievements and clarities in science and as it were, they moved to bring these achievements and clarities in science into philosophy. Nike Air Max Tavas Goedkoop sneakers blanc Homme Asics They believed that there are ambiguities and confusion in philosophical languages and that such ambiguities and confusions would be a thing of the past in philosophy when they are all jettisoned. Nike Lunar Schoenen Goedkoop air max 1 femme It was their view also that those ambiguities in philosophy gave rise to metaphysics. Nike FS Lite Run Goedkoop air max pas cher pour femme Metaphysics for these positivists was to be expunged because it contained no knowledge as it purports to give. Nike Free 4.0 V2 Goedkoop nike air max 1 pas cher They (positivists) termed its knowledge pseudo-knowledge. Nieuwe Air Max nike air max 1 pas cher In this work therefore, I wish to show that no matter the amount of attack directed to metaphysics by Ayer and his co-positivists, metaphysics will never be eliminated because man must go beyond the physical to explain realities like: life, God, man, world and man’s place in it, justice etc.
