ABSTRACT
In 1936, Ayer published a book in English,11 which widely popular ized the views of Carnap and his colleagues. In this exposition, there is, in addition to the broad concept of analyticity, an emphasis on phenomenalism in the tradition of Hume. There is a nod to G. E. Moore’s view that philosophizing is an activity of analysis. As the influence of later Wittgenstein became widespread, we see the emergence of the ordinary language wing of analytic philosophy.
