LOGICAL POSITIVISM


Meaning of LOGICAL POSITIVISM in English

a form of Phenomenalism held by A. J. Ayer who stated that the neutral sense data are the ultimate units of experience which are given. Mind and matter are both logical constructs of actual or possible sense data, not metaphysical entities. Statements about mind (mental statements) or matter (physical object statements) are both fully translatable into sense data or observation statements.
