Language, Truth, and Logic (1936) by Alfred Jules Ayer is a book about meaning, in which he defines, explains, and argues for the verification principle of logical positivism, sometimes referred to as the criterion of significance or criterion of meaning. Ayer explains how the principle of verifiability may be applied to the problems of philosophy. Language, Truth, and Logic brought some of the ideas of the Vienna Circle and the logical empiricists to the attention of the English-speaking world.
For long time, this book and the essay collection Logical Positivism (also edited by Ayer) are the two main classical texts on Vienna Circle in English-speaking world. The book presents basic ideas of the most influential philosohical movement in modern European philosophy. Without understanding it, the readers are hardly possible to understand the main movements in philosophy of science in analytic tradition and to know why it is claimed that philosophy of science is characteristic of analytic philosophy. This classic is small but contains the master thoughts of 20th century philosophy.
