Biography

A.J. Ayer was born on October 29, 1910 in St. John's Wood, London, England, UK. He was married to Dee Wells, Vanessa Salmon and Renée Orde-Lees. He died on June 27, 1989 in Bloomsbury, London, England, UK.

Eminent British philosopher, a proponent of "logical positivism" and the author of a famous book, "Language, Truth And Logic". He occasionally appeared on British television programs.

He was a supporter of the Labour Party, but made sure his sons were sent to Eton for their education, which led many to regard him as a hypocrite. He was also notorious as a serial adulterer and was married four times - to three women. His last wife, Dee Wells, married him for the second time only a few weeks before his death, perhaps because she wanted to look after him at the end.
