Edited by a A.J. Ayer, Logical Positivism offers-in the words of the movement's founders-revolutionary theories on meaning and metaphysics, the nature of logic and mathematics, the foundations of knowledge, the content of psychological propositions, ethics, sociology, and the nature of philosophy itself.

In the pages of this book, readers will find classic papers by Schlick, Carnap, Neurath, and Hanh published for the first time in English. In the most complete bibliography on the subject, Logical Positivism explains the movement's main ideas and their impact on contemporary philosophy in Britain and the United States.
Industry Reviews
"Of special value, partly because of its comprehensive authoritative introduction, partly because it translates for the first time important papers of the Vienna circle (Schlick, Carnap and Neurath). The book gives more than it promises, the text as well as the extensive bibliography including contributions of the analysts."-Hibbert Journal ?Of special value, partly because of its comprehensive authoritative introduction, partly because it translates for the first time important papers of the Vienna circle (Schlick, Carnap and Neurath).
