Truth Or What?

Rudolph Carnap once stated, " In the domain of metaphysics including all philosophy of value and normative theory, logical analysis yields the negative results that the alleged statements in this domain are entirely meaningless."

Was he smokin' or what?

 

No. He suffered from superhooper syndrome.

 

I agree with him, Wittgenstein alluded to the same reasoning for an underlying sense of perspective which was indicitive of the humanist trait which is ubiquitous throughout history..
