Verificationism has been a hallmark of logical empiricism. Modern theories of justification and belief revision, along with a formal semantics for counterfactuals, can help overcome these problems.
Verificationism has been a hallmark of logical empiricism. In the last 50 years, this view has, however, received tremendously bad press as its advocates failed to resolve its problems. Modern theories of justification and belief revision, along with a formal semantics for counterfactuals, can help overcome these problems. Therefore, it is worth revisiting this disreputable view. The author argues in favor of a weak form of verificationism.
