Discussion
Select the logical positivist among the following :
Answer: C
A.J. Ayer is the logical positivist in the list. His book Language, Truth and Logic (1936) put forward the verification principle, which says that a statement is meaningful only if it is analytic or empirically verifiable, and he used it to dismiss metaphysics.
Husserl founded phenomenology, Heidegger developed existential ontology, and C.S. Peirce was a pragmatist. All three fall outside the Vienna Circle tradition from which logical positivism arose, so the answer is C.
