Reparem nestes singelos parágrafos do artigo que estou lendo para o mestrado, na disciplina (obrigatória) de "Metodologia de Pesquisa Científica):

Logical Positivism

During much of this century, “positivism” has dominated discussions of the scientific method. Positivism recognizes as valid only the knowledge based on experience.

During the 1920s positivism emerged as a philosophy of science in the form of logical positivism. Developed by the Vienna Circle, a group of scientists and philosophers, logical positivism accepted as its central doctrine Wittgenstein’s verification theory of meaning. The verification theory holds that statements or propositions are meaningful only if they can be empirically verified. This criterion was adopted in an attempt to differentiate scientific (meaningful) statements from purely metaphysical (meaningless) statements.

Que raio de diferença fará no mundo diferenciar afirmativas científicas das metafísicas no contexto de TI?
