| - | "[[Elimination of Metaphysics through Logical Analysis of Language]]" (1931) by [[Rudolf Carnap]] illustrates some important differences between "[[analytic philosophy|analytic]]" and "[[continental philosophy|continental]]" styles of philosophy. It argues that "[[What Is Metaphysics?]]" violates logical syntax to create nonsensical pseudo-statements (Scheinsätze). Moreover, Carnap claimed that many German metaphysicians of the era were similar to Heidegger in writing statements that were not merely false, but devoid of any meaning. | + | |
