Quine is wrong in just about everything he says and, I'd hazard, a little bit jealous of Ayer.

Well first of all for those of you who really love Wittgenstein - I love Wittgenstein, he's smart - here's the thing about Ludwig Wittgenstein. Ludwig Wittgenstein used to be a rabbit, and the duckrabbit you see him putting in his Philosophical Investigations used to be his boyfriend. Then they warped the Ludwig Wittgenstein into the man you see now and he's still got his boyfriend in that book. That used to be his boyfriend so that's kind of like weird. But you can look it up it doesn't actually matter.

Beautiful.

Sup OP. It certainly is magnificent. Most people who post here are butthurt continentals who want to utter things without worrying about whether their utterances are true or false, though, which explains this negative reaction.

Second,
Carnap confirmed for the best of the Vienna Circle.

i don't like it because it's prescriptivist about the human capacity for meaning and whatnot. kind of a continental habit. it's bad thinking.

Ultimately Verificationism is self defeating the maxim itself cannot be verified, we can justify it pragmatically based on its value in consensus building, but then you're not verificationist anymore. Even the analytics have moved beyond it.

"Magnificent" doesn't mean "true". It is a good shot, and more interesting historical reading for a first year student/beginner than Plato/Aristotle/Medievals.

Oh of course, though Carnap is better, I was fond of it in my Junior year on may way up to Rorty and Davidson.
