Full Idea
Every philosophical problem, when it is subjected to the necessary analysis and purification, is found either to be not really philosophical at all, or else to be, in the sense in which we are using the word, logical.
Gist of Idea
When problems are analysed properly, they are either logical, or not philosophical at all
