It seems that I have spent my entire life trying to make life more rational and that it was all wasted effort.

There is philosophy, which is about conceptual analysis - about the meaning of what we say - and there is all of this ... all of life.

Theism is so confused and the sentences in which "God" appears so incoherent and so incapable of verifiability or falsifiability that to speak of belief or unbelief, faith or unfaith, is logically impossible.

But if science may be said to be blind without philosophy, it is true also that philosophy is virtually empty without science.

We shall maintain that no statement which refers to a 'reality'transcending the limits of all possible sense- experience can possibly have any literal significance.

We say that a sentence is factually significant to any given person, if, and only if, he knows how to verify the proposition which it purports to express.

It appears, then, that ethics, as a branch of knowledge, is nothing more than a department of psychologyand sociology.
