Language, Truth and Logic

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