What is the term for the philosophical stance aiming for the rigor of science?

  • Empiricism

  • Logical Positivism

  • Nihilism

  • Idealism

Answer

Logical Positivism is a philosophical movement that emerged in the early 20th century, advocating for the use of logical analysis and scientific methods to validate philosophical statements. Logical positivists believed that only statements verifiable through empirical observation or logical reasoning can be considered meaningful. They rejected traditional metaphysical and ethical statements as meaningless because they could not be empirically verified. This movement greatly influenced the development of contemporary analytic philosophy.
