PRO2K'S BLOG's fantasizes about Logical Positivism:
Rudolf Carnap showed in his famous essay "Elimination of Metaphysics through a Logical Analysis of Language" that many metaphysical statements are the result of the abuse of language, and he showed Heidegger's "the Nothing itself nothings" [Das Nichts selbst nichtet] as an example of that.
Eliminating metaphysics? Why? It's been overcome. Number of Google hits for "Elimination of Metaphysics through a Logical Analysis of Language"? Zero. Could anything be anymore un-famous today?
