Reflection Of Logical Empiricism's Verification Principle From The Perspective Of Theory Of Knowledge

Making practice the basis, cognition and practice the core problem, Marxistepistemology brings out the change of modern epistemology. According to the reflectionof verification principle, the project combines both verification principle and Marxistepistemology, especially combines both verification principle and criterion of practice. Itaims at making Marxist epistemology to absorb the reasonable element of verificationprinciple, in order to Marxist epistemology radiate new vigor in the new century.Verification principle, as the basic theory of logical empiricism, includes empiricalverification and logical verification. Verification principle, which can take a clearjudgment on scientific truth, not only responds to the predicament of modern philosophy,but also leads to the era of analytic philosophy. However, with the rising of quantummechanics and relativity, verification principle shows its limitations for its basic stand ofsubjective idealism. Verification principle provides theoretical heritage for epistemological,thus deepens and expands our understanding to empirical verification and logicalverification.The most distinguishing characteristic of verification principle is to combine truthand verification together. This characteristic forms two outlooks of truth: truth coincidencetheory and truth coherence theory. For the criterion of scientific theory, verificationprinciple is a test standard which not only has some reasonable factors but also has itslimitations. Therefore, we should band verification principle and practical test together,and take testing practice of scientific theory as the whole of scientific research and humanpractice. The practical test and science progress play an important role in the progress oftesting practice of scientific theory, that they improve Marxist epistemology.
