Title:
The Search for a Formal Criterion of Empirical Significance: A
Reconsideration
Abstract:
Logical empiricism’s waning popularity and the supposed discovery of
insurmountable technical difficulties led most philosophers to abandon the
project to formulate a formal criterion of empirical significance. I trace
the project’s history, from its inception with Carnap’s Pseudoproblems to
its abandonment, and criticize the reasons it is thought to have failed.
Although early criteria were clearly inadequate, criticisms made of later,
more sophisticated criteria were often indefensible or easily remedied.
Most importantly, Carnap’s last criterion was seriously misinterpreted and
an amended version of it remains tenable.
