He was educated at Eton College and Oxford University, after which he studied the philosophy of Logical Positivism at the University of Vienna. From 1933 to 1940 he lectured on philosophy at Christ Church, Oxford.
During the Second World War Ayer was a Special Operations Executive and MI6 agent.
He was Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic at University College London from 1946 until 1959, after which he returned to Oxford to become Wykeham Professor of Logic. He was president of the Aristotelian Society from 1951 to 1952 and knighted in 1970.
Ayer was born in St John's Wood, in north west London, to a wealthy family from continental Europe.

Da wir zur Zeit im Philosophieunterricht das Projekt "Sinn des Lebens" durchführen, bei dem alle, jeweils in Gruppen aufgeteilt, sich mit Texten über eben dieses Thema beschäftigen, hat sich unsere Gruppe gedacht, dass wir doch auch den Text "verfilmen" könnten. Unser Text war "Unbeantwortbare Fragen" von Alfred Jules Ayer. Da unser Film gut angekommen ist und auch von der Lehrerin hoch angesehen wurde, dachten wir uns, ihn bei YouTube hochzuladen und hier ist er jetzt auch ;) Wir sind zwar keine guten Schauspieler,geschweige denn bin ich gut mit einem Video-Schnittprogramm, dennoch glauben wir, dass der Sinn des Texts rüber kommt und das Video zum denken anregt. Unser Team/unsere Gruppe: Laura W. (spielt "A.J.Ayer") Patrick H. (Drehbuch/ spielt "einen Geistlichen") Bernhard F. (B...

Logic Lane 1978 "Once you're persuaded of the idea of it corresponding to a transcendental world is nonsense, then surely what you do is stop engaging in the practice" Do you agree with Williams? Is the point of religious practice and language to correspond to a transcendental world? If it isn't, should we give it up?
Bryan Magee and A.J. Ayer discuss the 20th century philosophical movement of logical positivism (also called logical empiricism). Professor Ayer helped to introduce logical positivism to the Anglophone world with his work "Language, Truth, and Logic". In this interview, Ayer discusses the movement, including its members, its philosophical approach, the verification principle, and the influence of the movement in and outside of philosophy. This interview was part of a BBC program from 1978.
