Freddie Ayer (1910-89) was one fo the most influential philosophers of his generation: his first book, Language, Truth, and Logic, written when he was only twenty-four, changed the direction of British philosophy, while his clarity of thought and rapid-fire delivery made him a familar presence on Britain's radio's and televisions. In this first fully authorised biography, Ben Rogers realates Ayers ideas to his remarkable life, strangely troubled beneath its glamorous surface.

Description du livre Etat : new. New York : Grove Press, 2000. Paperback. xii. 402 pp. Index. - A. J. Ayer (1910-1989) was a man of startling complexity: an exceptionally rigorous and penetrating philosopher, he was also a dedicated hedonist and seducer. He traveled in the most glamorous social circles, yet his friends found him oddly remote. Internationally acclaimed author Ben Rogers brings the brilliant, strangely vulnerable author of the classic Language, Truth, and Logic to vivid life, along with the Oxford intellectual world where he met Isaiah Berlin, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and many other great thinkers and writers of the era.
