    The logical status of the concept "God"
    Imray, Frederick S. J ( 1960)
    Metaphysics in general, and in particular the determined attempt to establish by reasoning the existence of God, has gone out of favour. This movement in philosophy owes much to the two-fold technique of clarifying and interpreting statements in their usual, common-sense interpretation. It is not my purpose to trace out the historical developments that have led to this distrust of metaphysics among many British philosophers. The purpose of this essay is to accept the Logical Positivist position and the later refinements denominated by the terms Logical or Linguistic Analysis end to notice what problems have been raised for religion. Various attempts to meet these problems which have been made by contemporary philosophers will be considered.
