The Rise and Fall of Logical Positivism
Published in The Express Tribune, October 5th, 2015
The rise and fall of logical positivism is the most spectacular story of twentieth century philosophy. Logical Positivism was wildly successful, and some of its key ideas became widely accepted as commonsense truths in the general public. For instance, people routinely make a sharp distinction between facts and opinions, thinking that this is trite and obvious. They do not realize that they are stating the conclusion of a complex philosophical argument which is fundamentally unsound.
