Among the original members of the Vienna Circle, only Moritz Schlick devoted any attention to ethics at all, and he regarded it as. Positivism is a philosophical theory stating that certain ("positive") knowledge is based on natural phenomena and their properties and relations. Thus, information derived from sensory experience, interpreted through reason and logic, forms the exclusive source of all certain knowledge. Positivism holds that valid knowledge (certitude or truth) is found only in this a posteriori knowledge.
Consequently, the positivism dispute is also called the Second Werturteilsstreit. The precursor of the debate about positivism can be traced back to Max Horkheimer's essay "Der neueste Angriff auf die Metaphysik" ("The Latest Attack on Metaphysics") published in that criticizes the logical positivism of the Vienna Circle. arguments which Ayer himself put forwarded in this book in rejecting metaphysics is sufficient arguments which can be taken against the logical positivism itself.

Logical positivists denied the soundness of metaphysics and traditional philosophy; they asserted that. The major work in this field came from the Aristotle’s book titled “metaphysics”.
The philosophy of science has an well-known history of magnetism and aversion towards metaphysics. The latter finds evidence in the Logical Positivist contention that metaphysical questions are meaningless. Historically, logical positivism was in some ways a response to the fact that the sciences were breaking away from philosophy and crystallizing as disciplines in their own right.
Empiricism sought to demonstrate that all knowledge was rooted in. The most important early figures in Logical Positivism were the Bohemian-Austrian Positivist philosopher Ernst Mach ( - ) and the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein (especially his "Tractatus" ofa text of great importance for Logical Positivists).
