While many of the arguments and positions here will be familiar to later generations of philosophy students, those wanting a first-hand overview of logical positivism as its practitioners conceived it will find it worthwhile.
"Of Pap's books it is no doubt his Elements of Analytical Philosophy that has had the widest reading. It was his first full-scale venture into print; it was written with the verve and iconoclasm of a man in his twenties who has seen through the metaphysicians and theologians and is determined to put them in their place. I hope many of them have read it, for even if they often disagree with it, they should be grateful, as I was, for the castigation. It has faults of brashness and overstatement, but it seems to me one of the most useful books produced by the analytic movement, notable for range as well as lucidity." ~Brand Blanshard, "Arthur Pap: A Memoir"
