The volume on logical positivism and existentialism is the shittiest of them all, it's embarrassing how shallow his treatment of the topic is. He peaked in the middle ages and should have stayed there.

It was BTFO'd much harder by people like JL Austin and RM Hare. Copleston didn't have much influence in the actual destruction of positivism. (Although you are right in spirit; positivism did get BTFO'd)
