POSITIVISME LOGIS DALAM “LANGUAGE, TRUTH, AND LOGIC” KARYA ALFRED JULES AYER: SEBUAH PANDANGAN KRITIS

Abstract

The essence of science in the body of logical positivism is based on the basis of the development
of the exact sciences, so that the sciences developed are not always in line with the development
of society. The objectivity that is concerned with the sciences is precisely molded in terms of the
unfolding of the sciences, so it is absolute to use subjectivism which in principle will reflect its
objectivity. Scientific truths are measured positivistically, in the true sense and the real must be
concrete, logical, accurate and rewarding. The effect behind it is that the abstract and qualitative
dimensions of life are neglected and apart from observation. No doubt if the criticism and
correction of positivism waged because of its naturalistic and diterministik. Humans are seen
only as dependent and not as independent variables.
Keywords: Logical Positivism, Languange, Truth, and Logic
