Question
A philosopher who gave his name to an early phase of this movement proposed that physicists consider “molecular events musically,” which later authors linked to his rejection of atomism. A philosopher from this movement analogized scientific knowledge to a ship that is rebuilt while actively being sailed. Early in his career, a leader of this movement published The Logical Structure of the World, which Quine later responded to in “Two Dogmas of Empiricism.” Ernst Mach’s statement that “where neither confirmation nor refutation is possible, science is not concerned” anticipated this movement’s rejection of metaphysics as part of its verificationist program. For 10 points, Moritz Schlick and Rudolf Carnap were central members of what group of Austrian logical positivists? ■END■
