{wiki=Category:Positivists}
Positivism is a philosophical theory and epistemological stance that asserts that knowledge is primarily derived from empirical evidence, such as observation and experimentation, rather than from intuition, speculation, or metaphysical beliefs. It suggests that scientific knowledge is the most authoritative and reliable form of knowledge. Positivists advocate for the use of the scientific method to formulate and test hypotheses about the natural and social world. They typically reject metaphysical claims that cannot be empirically verified and focus on observable phenomena.
