Moritz Schlick, Rudolf Carnap, and Alfred North Whitebread
Some notable individuals in philosophy who are examples of logical positivists include Rudolf Carnap, Moritz Schlick, and A.J. Ayer. They were part of the Vienna Circle, a group of philosophers who advocated for the verification principle and the logical analysis of language.
The philosopher who helped lay the groundwork for logical positivism was Ludwig Wittgenstein. His early work in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus influenced the Vienna Circle and other logical positivists with its focus on the logical analysis of language and the idea of logical atomism.
considered meaningless because it is not verifiable through empirical evidence. Logical positivists believed that meaningful statements must either be directly verifiable through sense experience or be reducible to statements that are verifiable through sense experience. Since the existence of God cannot be empirically verified, they deemed it as meaningless.

Positivists refer to 'laws of social behavior' as regular and observable patterns in human behavior that can be studied and understood through scientific methods. These laws are seen as objective and distinct from other forms of knowledge, helping to explain and predict social phenomena based on empirical evidence. Positivists believe that uncovering these laws can lead to a more systematic and reliable understanding of society.
Positivists typically use quantitative research methods such as surveys, experiments, and statistical analyses to study observable phenomena and establish causal relationships. They emphasize objectivity, empirical evidence, and the scientific method in their research approach.
Empiricist use scientific methods to test what is observable, if you cant see it cant be tested and doesn't exist - Cartesian mind/body dualism emerges. Positivists use empirical methods but in addition to testing what is observable they use logic and reason to verify or falsify the real world out there. Logical positivists argue that science is the only true form of knowledge and that moral and value judgments cant be varified or falsified.
