| Popper, K. | Hempel. Vs Popper, K. | II 111 Def Empiricist Criterion of Meaning/Hempel: (2.1) provisionally: demand for principally complete falsifiability: (instead of verifiability): A statement has an empirical meaning iff. its negation is not analytical and follows logically from a finite logically consistent class of observation statements. (>Popper, demarcation criterion, empirical science Vs mathematics, logic). HempelVs: 1) that excludes pure existence assertions like "There is at least one unicorn", etc. Also mixed statements (existence and all-quantification). Because none of these can be falsified conclusively by a finite set of observations. (HempelVsPopper) 2) E.g. a conjunction of a completely falsifiable statement S and a not completely falsifiable statement N is absurdly completely falsifiable. Reason: if the negation of S is the result of a class of observation statements, then the negation of S and N, a fortiori, is the consequence of the same class. E.g. "All swans are white and the absolute is perfect". 3)Observation predicate: the assertion: "All things have the property p" is then significant. |
