Moritz Schlick in *Explaining Postmodernism*

Early in the development of analytic philosophy, Moritz Schlick claimed:

“Does the external world exist?” is an unintelligible question, for “both its denial and affirmation are meaningless.”

For more on the meaning of Schlick’s and its implications for postmodernism, see p. 80 of my Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism from Rousseau to Foucault.
