A. J. Ayer, or Alfred Jules Ayer, was a British philosopher known for his work in the fields of logical positivism and empiricism. Born on October 29, 1910, and passing on June 27, 1989, Ayer is best known for his 1936 book, "Language, Truth and Logic," where he argued that many metaphysical claims are nonsensical because they cannot be empirically verified.
