Adi Shankara ignores the fact of his earthly existence in his Discovery of True or Real Self

We need a methodology to study philosophy and to understand philosophical statements. Logical Positivism, also known as Scientific Empiricism aims to clarify concepts in both everyday and scientific language. It describes analysis of language as the function of philosophy.
