Metaphysics Meaning And Logical Positivism

Metaphysics, Meaning, and Logical Positivism By Anthony J. Fejfar, B.A., J.D., Esq., Coif © Copyright 2009 by Anthony J. Fejfar Traditionally, Logical Positivism has been defined as dealing with, “Rigorous Logical Inferences from Sense Experience.”

It is clear, however, that Meaning which is

Metaphysical, is also Logical, and thus is not excluded from the requirements of Logical Positivism. For example, Euclidean Geometry is clearly logical, and yet, Metaphysical. In the world of sense experience, there is no Triangle, no Square, and no Ciricle. All three started out as Metaphysical constructs. This suggests the Metaphysics of NeoPlatonism, where there is a Perfect Circle, Square, and Triangle, in the World of the Forms. We discovered the Circle, Square, and Triangle, by Intuiting Being, or the Immutable Platonic Forms. The Circle, Square, and Triangle were not derived from sense experience. The same is true of Legal Forms involving Torts, Contracts, and Property.
