| Nice strawman.. fortunately for the question nothing in it relies on positivism.
However it is an easy strawman to refute:
1. Are you reading this post?
2. Do you exist?
3. Do true statments exist?
4. Does truth have meaning?
5. Does language have meaning?
Any positive response to any of these immediately denies the claims of the strawman position.
Falsification, is a form of verification, though I do understand the distinction you are making here. The ability to verify or falsify, at least in principle, is necessary to any endeavor in which truth is an objective.
The problem to which I referred, was that there are those who deny the possibility of either, of anything at all against which claims can be compared. |
