About This Quote

Logical positivism is philosophy from the neck up. This is essentially, the idea that only what can be explained with logic or empirical data can be accepted as true. It’s a philosophical system that believes in finding the truth by only using the physical senses, so it’s very much in line with scientific method. The problem is, while this method does indeed make for a logically consistent system, it often neglects other types of information that might be important to understand a situation. A lot of people say that this particular philosophy is not the best way to go about understanding the world and all of its complexities, and many would agree with them.
