I’m grateful for your kind reply!. One minute ago, I ordered The Philosophy of A. J. Ayer from Amazon, Two days ago, I ordered your latest book, and I just received it in the mail. As always, I’m excited to read another of your books.

I agree LTL is not right about everything. I don’t recommend books on the supposition that every single thing they say is correct; hence I list it with several other books. It’s right about a lot of things; and it’s educational to grasp why it’s wrong about what it is wrong about. If you want to match thesis with antithesis to produce a synthesis that is closer to the truth than either alone, update LTL with the contents of Polanyi’s Personal Knowledge, and vice versa. Letting each book correct the errors of the other, produces my epistemology as of 2005. Since then I have updated my epistemology with Bayesian reasoning. See my Revision Notes in Typos List for Sense and Goodness without God.

Note the Ayer quote you are linking too says “nearly all of it is false” and after where your video cuts off he qualified that by saying “it was true in spirit.” To understand what he means, see his contribution to The Philosophy of A.J. Ayer, which long post-dates that video. Ironically, I think what some of what he thought positivism got right, like emotivism, are actually the most demonstrably incorrect things in his philosophy. But you would be able to discern that by comparing LTL with Sense and Goodness without God to see where I actually agree and disagree with him.

Tis the season!
