Answer to Question #188836 in Philosophy for Diana

Question

Explain one criticisms of the logical positivist’s principle of verification? Do you agree or disagree with any of the criticisms? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

One of the criticisms of logical positivist’s theory of verification is the non-empirical proposition seen to be tautologically true or meaningless as an arbitrary characterization of significance. I agree with this criticism because the principle is a tautology, although a non-arbitrary one that reflects actual utilization and stringently futile to be regarded as a reference for the conduct of methodical inquiry.
