    • This is quite interesting and it's easy to draw parallells to Neojungian Typology, the dialectics of Sensing vs Intuition (what we see vs how we interpret it) and Thinking and Feeling (reduce things to mechanistic moving parts vs looking at how things affect emotions, perspectives, aesthethics). Logical Positivsts are a Sensing and Thinking ontology.

      "In this program with world-renowned author and professor Bryan Magee, A. J. Ayer, who played a major role in introducing logical positivism to England, explains the movement, its purpose, and its effect on current philosophical trends. Ayer also discusses its founders—members of the Vienna Circle of the 1920s—who based their theories on logic and science."
