Logical positivism is the direct result of the revision of positivism through the years. As we may already know, the positivism of Auguste Comte and Ernst Mach dealt only with phenomena that are directly observable. By the early 20th century, this position was viewed as unrealistic by many scholars. Scientists during the early 20th century had made major studies on theoretical concepts that are not directly observable, such as gravity, magnetism, atoms, force, and electrons. Hence, scholars had to find a way for science to account for these entities through the employment of a theory without running the risk of falling into the pit of metaphysical speculation. The solution to this problem was provided by logical positivism.
