This work's seventh section argues that the only philosophical problem "concerning the relationship of mind and matter" are the "linguistic problems of defining certain symbols which denote logical constructions in terms of symbols which denote sense-contents." Accordingly, that section of this book claims that the self is "a logical construction out of the sense-experiences which constitute" its "actual and possible sense-history." The final section of this work uses the difference between the sentences "the author of Hamlet wrote Hamlet" and (*) "Shakespeare wrote Hamlet," to explain the errors of monism.

This work's first chapter is dedicated to "The Elimination of Metaphysics," and proposes that the significance of statements should be subject to the verification principle. For 10 points, identify this seminal work of logical positivism written by A.J. Ayer.
