The central question of this article is whether (or not) the project of logical positivism can be described as an epistemological project. Since the answer is yes, it should be shown that, although the project was explicitly understood as an “analysis of language,” one of the fundamental concerns of logical positivism was epistemological in nature, namely, that of basing scientific theories on the field of direct observation using logical-mathematical instruments. And that is why it is possible to frame this project within the nomenclature of “logical empiricist epistemology.” In order to justify this type of response, I present and develop the main theses defended by logical positivism.
