GUERRERO PINO, Germán. Central thesis on logic empiricism. sophia [online]. 2015, vol.11, n.2, pp.257-270. ISSN 1794-8932.

Taking into account the importance of the philosophic movement known as Logic Empiricism in past and present history of philosophy of science, nothing is more necessary than understanding its basis.   For this purpose, this article systematically presents the central thesis of Logic Empiricism, parting from its programmatic documents.  The following are the exposed thesis:  1) the empiricist thesis, knowledge of nature is synthetic; 2) knowledge of logic and mathematics is analytical; 3)  the verifying principle of the meaning as limiting criterion  between science and metaphysics; 4) logic analysis of language as a philosophic method; 5)  unification of empirical sciences; and 6) the structure of scientific theories.

Keywords : Analytic; Synthetic; Verification; Metaphysic; Reductionism.
