Verifiability: An Essay on an Empirical Account of Meaning

By Paulo Guilherme Santos

The book you are about to read is a humble attempt to give new life to the (Logical) Positivist ideas from the beginning of the XXth century. We felt the urge to write our ideas because their formulation is found nowhere in the current literature; moreover, Logical Positivism is considered, for the most part, unfeasible; we hope to convince the reader of the opposite and to give new life to the movement.

Our approach differs from the original Positivism: we include logic and mathematics in the empirical realm, and we develop a finite way to implement the Verification Principle; we, consequently, do not resort to the common analytic/synthetic distinction. Although the principles we use date back to the original formulation of Logical Positivism, our approach is, in the technical sense, very distinct.
