In this paper, first I am going to introduce the criterion of verifiability. With the help of the criterion of verifiability, Ayer is able to test whether any sentence has factual significance or not. He then concludes that metaphysical propositions lack factual significance because they fail to satisfy even the weaker sense of verifiability in principle. Ayer proceeds to argue that metaphysical propositions are nonsensical since they neither have factual significance nor belong to the category of

On the surface the two do not seem to fit together. However in Freedom and Necessity, Ayer finds situation where one can be responsible while their action's are causally determined. The first step in Ayer's argument is that we make choices which determine our character. Those choices are either an accident or they are not. If the choices

containment was when the United states tried different things and many strategies to stop the spread of communism (Ayers 819). Eisenhower was all for the military aid and he wanted to cooperate with other countries. President Truman was one

These new views are also the result of the diverseness within the society itself, which consisted of Christians, deists, rationalists, moralists, and aristocrats (Ayers 27).
