Abstract

Verificationism has been a hallmark of logical empiricism. According to this principle, a sentence is insignificant in a certain sense if its truth value cannot be determined. Although logical empiricists strove for decades to develop an adequate principle of verification, they failed to resolve its problems. This led to a general abandonment of the verificationist project in the early 1960's. In the last 50 years, this view has received tremendously bad press. Today it is mostly regarded as an outdated historical concept. Theories that have evolved since the abandonment of verificationism can, however, help overcome some of its key problems. More specifically, an adequate criterion of significance can be derived from a combination of modern theories of justification and belief revision, along with a formal semantics for counterfactuals. In view of these potential improvements, the abandonment of verificationism appears premature. Half a century following its decline, it might be about time to revisit this disreputable view. The author argues in favor of a weak form of verificationism. This approach could be referred to as minimal verificationism, as it involves a weakening of traditional verificationist principles in various respects while maintaining their core idea.

Abstract

L'empirisme logique, mouvement incontournable dans l'histoire de la philosophie analytique, apparut dans l'entre-deux-guerres viennois comme une réaction progressiste à la pensée méta-physique. Continuant la mission des Lumières, ce mouvement moderniste est représenté par le Cercle de Vienne formé de Moritz Schlick, Rudolf Carnap et Otto Neurath, entre autres scientifiques. Ce livre invite à une réflexion sur la dimension politique méconnue de l'empirisme logique à travers la vie et l'œuvre d'Otto Neurath (1881-1945), figure notable de « l'aile gauche » du Cercle. Il examine comment les travaux innovatifs de Neurath en matière d'infographisme, sa vision pédagogique et son socialisme s'articulent autour de la philosophie néo-empiriste des sciences

Abstract

This book is a major contribution to the history of analytic philosophy in general and of logical positivism in particular. It provides the first detailed and comprehensive study of Rudolf Carnap, one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century philosophy. The focus of the book is Carnap's first major work: Der logische Aufbau der Welt (The Logical Structure of the World). It reveals tensions within the context of German epistemology and philosophy of science in the early twentieth century. Alan Richardson argues that Carnap's move to philosophy of science in the 1930s was largely an attempt to dissolve the tension in his early epistemology. This book fills a significant gap in the literature on the history of twentieth-century philosophy. It will be of particular importance to historians of analytic philosophy, philosophers of science, and historians of science.
