AI overview

Moritz Schlick was a German philosopher of the early 20th century who played a central role in developing logical positivism, a philosophical movement that emphasized verifiable facts and scientific methods as the basis for meaningful knowledge. His work and leadership of the Vienna Circle—a influential group of philosophers and scientists—fundamentally shaped how philosophers think about the relationship between science, language, and truth.

Quotes

  • Philosophy is not a system of propositions, and not a science.
  • Philosophy... is that activity by which the meaning of propositions is established or discovered. Philosophy elucidates propositions, science verifies them. In the latter we are concerned with the truth of statements, but in the former with what they actually mean.
