An illustration by the use of a single example of how the meaning of a statement may be questioned and clarified
Talk by Stuart Hampshire
Mr. Hampshire takes an assertion of survival after death as a typical specimen of a statement that has been disputed without being clarified, and shows some of the difficulties involved in attaching any definite meaning to it. His purpose is to exhibit a method of logical analysis in action and to explain its necessity rather than to suggest any particular conclusions: he argues that philosophy must be concerned with determining the meaning of statements and not with determining their truth or falsity
