ABSTRACT
Philosophers reduced the scope of their inquiries so much that Wittgenstein, the most famous philosopher of this century, said “the sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.” For many logical positivists, the non-empirically verified or premised logos of being on – demarcating the domain of ontology – an be accused of metaphysics, earning insignificance. Romanos explains how positivists drifted away from notions of the ideal language and the accompanying ideas of picturing the world. The transition from language as the mirror of reality to a pluralism of worlds as defined in plural linguistic frameworks was a crucial moment in how the people understand language and metaphysics. One could notice that Karl Popper, similarly to some logical positivists, has distinguished among three types of theory: logical and mathematical theories, empirical and scientific theories and philosophical or metaphysical theories.
