@lastpositivist Indeed. What is so appealing about logical empiricism to you if one might ask?
@SjoerdvanHoorn ...Also interested in their relationship to cultural & political movements. Puzzling that positivism now seen as reactionary

@lastpositivist Yes, that is sheer nonsense. If anything, LP was politically emancipatory. Cf Neurath's socialism etc. -

@lastpositivist I'm not a positivist myself, far from it in fact, but I appreciate its striving for clarity. -
@SjoerdvanHoorn Oh don't get me wrong, I recognise that plenty of reason not to sign up to 1930s positivism! Just find it interesting is all - Show replies

@lastpositivist and I find LP much more interesting than Popper; Mill makes the point of testing one's views far more realistically.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
