Personalità
"Che tipo di personalità è A. J. Ayer? A. J. Ayer è un tipo di personalità ENTP in mbti, 7w6 - - in enneagram, in big 5, in socionics."
Some quick thoughts: favorite philosopher was David Hume (ENTP, imo), and it shows in his work. He is a logical positivist in a very Humean, that is to say, a very NeTi way: he is a positivist not because it will bolster his belief in certain things, but precisely because it lets him doubt a ton of things the common person takes for granted but which do not meet his strict verification criteria. It is a tool of his skepticism, and is treated, ironically, in a highly abstract manner. Perhaps more importantly, he insistently denies Fi: "[If I] say, 'Stealing money is wrong,' I produce a sentence that has no factual meaning--that is, expresses no proposition that can be either true or false...I am merely expressing certain moral sentiments." The key word being "merely". This is something I associate more with ENTPs. Also, the account of his near-death experience is very interesting. His official account: http://www.philosopher.eu/others-writings/a-j-ayer-what-i-saw-when-i-was-dead/ His doctor's account: https://variousenthusiasms.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/did-atheist-philosopher-see-god-when-he-died-by-william-cash/ The alleged quote of Ayer, from the second article, sounds very NTP to me: "I saw a Divine Being. I’m afraid I’m going to have to revise all my various books and opinions."
