Logical Empiricism Confirms The Principle Of Re-study

The basic view of logical empiricism is empiricism and anti-metaphysics.It argues that the basis of scientific knowledge is not dependent on the experience of the individual’s experience , but rather on the recognized experiments confirmed.In anti-metaphysics, it is not like Comte and Mach, that metaphysics is wrong, and that it is meaningless.In the treatment of entities , God,freedom and inevitably the so-called"never solve the problem", the logical experience of those who think that such problems can not be resolved, but in fact there is no such problem, they are some so-called"plausible""(Scheinproblem).In addition, they regard mathematical logic as the main tool for philosophical analysis and argumentation.Because of this, it is called logical positivism or logical empiricism.The verification theory is one of the central questions of logical empiricism.It is said that, "The meaning of proposition is the method of confirmation. "This principle is not only a standard of meaning,but also a distinction between scientific and non-scientific standards , and also a powerful weapon of denomination.Logical empiricists are required for verifiability, not actual verifiability , but in principle verifiability.A proposition that is not substantiated in principle is that there is no way to confirm that it is true or false,and that it can not understand its meaning.But they also believe that there is no need to confirm the proposition: mathematical proposition and logical proposition.They belong to the tautology proposition system, whose object is the form of the relationship, not the real relationship.They are not required to prove, but to prove that it is not true, but effective.When logical empiricists put forward the verifiable standard of significance, it aroused the questioning of many scholars in the international analytic philosophy The logic empiricists were also constantly reflecting, supplementing and correcting.Since the beginning of the Vienna School for decades , it has undergone tremendous development and change, and has completely changed its original appearance.This development is mainly manifested in : Carnap advocates the use of non-qualitative"confirmation"to replace qualitative"verification" ;Hans Reichenbach advocates the theory of meaning instead of the principle of confirmation;and Popper put forward the theory of falsificationism and the theory of Quine’s Holistic View of Knowledge and so on.They do not deny the principle of confirmation, but continue to develop the principle of confirmation and put forward a more free sense of the standard.In short, the verification theory advocates that the principles of science should be tested in the experience and the method of logical analysis, has a profound impact on the development of contemporary Western philosophy, but also for the historicism and social constructivism, moreover,it has a profound theoretical significance and practical value.
