“…Others have concluded the analytic-continental split itself is a false or obsolete dichotomy (Beaney, 2013;Vrahimis, 2013). For example, Beaney suggests the analytic tradition can be simply defined by its toolbox of methods and its breaking down of problems into smaller problems which anybody can work on democratically, rather than having a grand doctrine or ideology that needs to be accepted as a dogmatic whole.…”

Koenderink (2014, Perception, 43, 1-6) has said most Perception readers are deluded, because they believe an 'All Seeing Eye' observes an objective reality. We trace the source of Koenderink's assertion to his metaphysical idealism, and point to two major weaknesses in his position-namely, its dualism and foundationalism. We counter with arguments from modern philosophy of science for the existence of an objective material reality, contrast Koenderink's enactivism to his idealism, and point to ways in which phenomenology and cognitive science are complementary and not mutually exclusive.

“…97-154); O'Neil and Uebel ( 2004)). By contrast, Ayer's use of Carnap's arguments, at first in a brief mention against Heidegger and later also applied against Sartre, would function as justification for Anglophone analytic philosophers not to engage with such thinkers (see Vrahimis 2013aVrahimis , 2013b. Interestingly, they did not function as such for Ayer himself, who would produce a number of critical commentaries on various so-called 'continental' philosophers throughout his life.…”

The Historical and Philosophical Significance of Ayer’s Language, Truth and Logic

A. J. Ayer's Language, Truth, and Logic had been responsible for introducing the Vienna Circle's ideas, developed within a Germanophone framework, to an Anglophone readership. Inevitably, this migration from one context to another resulted in the alteration of some of the concepts being transmitted. Such alterations have served to facilitate a number of false impressions of Logical Empiricism from which recent scholarship still tries to recover. In this paper, I will attempt to point to the ways in which LTL has helped to foster the various mistaken stereotypes about Logical Empiricism which were combined into the received view. I will begin by examining Ayer's all too brief presentation of an Anglocentric lineage for his ideas. This lineage, as we shall see, simply omits the major 19 th century Germanophone influences on the rise of analytic philosophy. The Germanophone ideas he presents are selectively introduced into an Anglophone context, and directed towards various concerns that arose within that context. I will focus on the differences between Carnap's version of the overcoming of metaphysics, and Ayer's reconfiguration into what he calls the elimination of metaphysics. Having discussed the above, I will very briefly outline the consequences that Ayer's radicalisation of the Vienna Circle's doctrines had on the subsequent Anglophone reception of Logical Empiricism.1 This paper was first presented in 2018 at the conference on 'The Historical and Philosophical Significance of Ayer's Language, Truth and Logic' at the University of Pécs, organised by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the "Empiricism and atomism in twentieth-century Anglo-Saxon philosophy" Research Group. I owe many thanks to all those present, as well as to the anonymous reviewers, for many helpful questions and suggestions. I am particularly grateful to Adam Tamas Tuboly for inviting me to contribute to the conference and book, and for his many insightful comments and suggestions.

“…For further analyses of the close relations between the respective positions of Carnap and Heidegger, see(Stone 2006),(Gabriel 2009),(Vrahimis 2013). 4 In the wake of Friedman's seminal work, many have argued that the cultural, sociological and political components of the divide were at least as significant and influential as its strictly philosophical terms.…”
