Positivisme logik

Positivisme logik, yang kemudiannya dipanggil empirisme logik, dan kedua-duanya bersama-sama juga dikenali sebagai neopositivisme, ialah gerakan dalam falsafah Barat yang tesis utamanya ialah prinsip pengesahan (juga dikenali sebagai kriteria pengesahan makna).  Teori pengetahuan ini menegaskan bahawa hanya pernyataan yang boleh disahkan melalui pemerhatian langsung atau pembuktian logik yang bermakna dari segi penyampaian nilai kebenaran, maklumat atau kandungan fakta. Bermula pada akhir 1920-an, kumpulan ahli falsafah, saintis, dan ahli matematik membentuk Bulatan Berlin dan Bulatan Vienna, yang, di kedua-dua bandar ini, akan mengemukakan idea-idea positivisme logik.
