Ayer was politically a social democrat. During the 1930s he flirted with joining the British CP but declined to do because of the incompatibility between diamat and his own logical empiricism. Thereafter, he was a longtime supporter of the British Labour Party, except for a few years in the early 1980s when he supported the breakaway Social Democratic Party. > > Paddy Hackett > > ---------- > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <marxism-thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu> > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 12:55 PM > Subject: Re: [Marxism-Thaxis] Vienna Circle etc. > > > > I am interested in them because of my general interest > in the philosophy of science and the broader implications: > culturally, socially and politically of differing > > > _______________________________________________ > Marxism-Thaxis mailing list > Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu > To change your options or unsubscribe go to: > http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis > > _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
