Description
Verificationism: Its History and Prospects
A comprehensive history of a concept that dominated philosophy and scientific methodology between the 1930s and the 1960s, this book explores the verificationist principle - the idea that a belief with no connection to experience is spurious.
C.J. Misak examines the development of verificationism from its precursors to its reappearance in modern philosophical thought, including its surprising presence at the heart of contemporary feminist philosophy.
