Definition

  • This entry gives an overview of the once influential philosophical movement of the Logical Positivists or Logical Empiricists, among the main contributors who shaped 20th-century analytic philosophy and philosophy of science in particular. The history of the philosophy of the social sciences has been particularly entangled with the fortunes of the logical-positivist views of science.
