Title : Language Truth & Logic Material Type: printed text Authors: Alfred Jules Ayer, Author Publisher: Dover Publications Publication Date: 1952 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-486-20010-1 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Language
PhilosophyAbstract: First published in 1936, this first full-length presentation in English of the Logical Positivism of Carnap, Neurath, and others has gone through many printings to become a classic of thought and communication. It not only surveys one of the most important areas of modern thought; it also shows the confusion that arises from imperfect understanding of the uses of language. A first-rate antidote for fuzzy thought and muddled writing, this remarkable book has helped philosophers, writers, speakers, teachers, students, and general readers alike.
Mr. Ayers sets up specific tests by which you can easily evaluate statements of ideas. You will also learn how to distinguish ideas that cannot be verified by experience—those expressing religious, moral, or aesthetic experience, those expounding theological or metaphysical doctrine, and those dealing with a priori truth. The basic thesis of this work is that philosophy should not squander its energies upon the unknowable, but should perform its proper function in criticism and analysis.Language Truth & Logic [printed text] / Alfred Jules Ayer, Author . - [S.l.] : Dover Publications, 1952.

Title : London Labour and the London Poor: The classical study of the culture of poverty and the criminal classes in the 19th-century – Vol. II of IV. Material Type: printed text Authors: Henry Mayhew, Author Publisher: Dover Publications Publication Date: 1968 ISBN (or other code): LABMAY1968 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Poverty Keywords: Britain, London, Poverty, Poor Abstract: London Labour and the London Poor is a masterpiece of personal inquiry and social observation. It is the classic account of life below the margins in the greatest Metropolis in the world and a compelling portrait of the habits, tastes, amusements, appearance, speech, humour, earnings and opinions of the labouring poor at the time of the Great Exhibition. In scope, depth and detail it remains unrivalled. Mayhew takes us into the abyss, into a world without fixed employment where skills are declining and insecurity mounting, a world of criminality, pauperism and vice, of unorthodox personal relations and fluid families, a world from which regularity is absent and prosperity has departed. Making sense of this environment required curiosity, imagination and a novelist s eye for detail, and Henry Mayhew possessed all three. No previous writer had succeeded in presenting the poor through their own stories and in their own words, and in this undertaking Mayhew rivals his contemporary Dickens. To pass from one to the other, writes one authority, is to cross sides of the same street.
