    Positivism holds that a statement is only meaningful if it can be empirically verified or falsified. Empirical cognition and observation are the basis for determining truth according to positivism, as statements must correspond to observable facts or be logically derived from empirical observations to be considered meaningful. Language is important as it allows for communicating empirical observations and verifiable statements, while statements that cannot be empirically verified or falsified are considered meaningless according to positivism.
