Abstract (2. Language):
Metaphysics, which is mentioned as the highest science by Aristotle, has lost its
property of the queen of sciences more and more, afterwards it has been denied wherefore
philosophy had been reduced to language analysis by philosophers in the Vienna Circle. Ayer
has rejected metaphysics and he has argued that it had to be eliminated from philosophy
because it was not be able to adapt to verifiability principle. Ayer’s purpose of verifiability is
that to be proved something by experiment and observation. This, with Wittgensteinian
statement, is to say drawing the picture of meaning or fact.

Abstract (Original Language):
Aristoteles tarafından en üstün bilim olarak anılan metafizik, zamanla bilimlerin
kraliçesi olma özelliğini yitirmiş ve Viyana Çevresi filozoflarınca felsefenin yalnızca dil
analizine indirgenmesiyle birlikte tamamen yadsınmıştır. Ayer doğrulamacılık ilkesine
uyarlanamadığı gerekçesiyle metafiziği reddetmiş ve onun felsefeden elenmesi gerektiğini
savunmuştur. Ayer’ın doğrulamacılıktan kastı, deney ve gözlem yoluyla bir şeyin ortaya
konulmasıdır. Bu da, Wittgensteincı deyişle, anlamın ya da olgunun resmini çizmek demektir.
