Language, Truth and Logic
- Verification Principle
- Can the knowlege
be verified by
empirical data?
- Note that the question
does not have to be
verified, just able to be
verified in principle
- Is the knowlege a
Tautology? (a
Priori Analytic,
true by definition)
- If it is neither, it is not
a genuine question
- Ethics
- Contains Metaphysics, but
is not all metaphysics
- Four classes of
propositions about ethics
- Definitions of ethical terms
Anmerkungen:
- Is the domain of ethical philosophy
- Description of phenomena
and their causes
Anmerkungen:
- Domain of Psychology or Sociology
- Exhortations to moral value
Anmerkungen:
- Not propositions and so do not belong to either philosophy or science
- Actual ethical judgements
Anmerkungen:
- Do not belong to Philosophy (but does not mean they are not useful)
- Theology
- God cannot be proven through a
Priori means (the only things that
can be linked to a priori reasoning
are Tautologies)
- God cannot be proven
through empirical means
- God cannot be said to exist, but he
cannot be said not to exist either.
The question is meaningless.
- Aethetics
- Shows emotion, not facts
- Evaluation (AO3)
- Does make a lot of sense
- Does not say that the ideas do not have
use or are false, but are just meaningless
and so are not relevant to Philosophy
