Logical positivists (R. Carnap, M. Schlick, A.J. Ayer) announced the end of metaphysics and, with it, that of philosophy as a whole. Henceforth, they claimed, the only statements to be counted as meaningful would be those of natural science. Well, philosophy still seems to be around and, meanwhile, logical positivism seems to have gone out of fashion. What happened ?
In the past two posts, I have tried to show that the latest version of LP you propose may still have some internal deficiencies and that, in any case, as other variants, it might have some adverse effects.
Your move, Doc.

Hi Nicolas,
Thank you for your comments. I am really enjoying our discussion. It is forcing me to put my ideas down in more detail, and this is helping me understand things like Natural Language much more deeply.
I think that defeating the tenets of LP will be extremely difficult. To my mind, LP represents the simple consequences of logic and objective reality.
Even if one were to show that LP makes ethics harder for humans to implement (a claim I would dispute), it would not justify rejecting LP and claiming some sort of arbitrary moral "authority".
If reality is complex, so be it.
Regards,
doctor(logic)
