while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.
because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".
i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.
Personal purpose in life can be scientifically verified as valid?
Really?
Absolutely. Anyway, moving on to your task...
So, please show us how your definition of posotivism is the same as the one nicolau posted and, once that is done, how I said it was wrong. You've all your work ahead of you.

Sorry but personal purpose in life can't be scientifically verified as valid.
OK, so we just learned you don't know what "scientifically valid" means. Of course if can be.
If you really knows what scientific verification is you must know that.
Like what?
Like, that you don't know what scientific verification is, for one.

There's a pleonasm in this definition. You can say just "scientifically verified" (like I said) without the "OR" part.
Logical proof is not the same as scientifically verified. No pleonasm exists.
You've not shown is how your definition is the same as what nicolau posted. You've all your work ahead of you.
Meaning or purpose of human life beyond biological goals is nonsense to positivists because cannot be scientifically verified.
The purpose and goals of my life can be verified. Not sure what you mean by "biological goals". Reproduction? My goals beyond that can definitely be scientifically verified.
You've all your work ahead of you.

Viviane says this definition is wrong. I want to know her definition.
You are incorrect. I did't say that definition was wrong, in fact, I made no comment on it at all. I said YOUR claim was incorrect.
And it is.

Why not?
And most important: what is the correct definition of positivism?
Sorry, I have a strict personal policy of "not doing doing your work for you".

Just tell me your definition of positivism.
Please.
I say positivism is the philosophical system that affirms the only valid knowledge is the scientific method.
Why this short definition of positivism is wrong?
Because it isn't correct.

Burden of proof?Yes, you said
You said my definition of positivism is wrong but don't showed why.
- What you thought posotivism was
- Claimed certain people were positivists and didn't know it
- claimed it was evil- made claims about what souls are
- etc.
You made those claims first, so the burden of proof is on you. That's how it works.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophic_burden_of_proofWhen two parties are in a discussion and one asserts a claim that the other disputes, the one who asserts has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim.[1] An argument from ignorance occurs when either a proposition is assumed to be true because it has not yet been proved false or a proposition is assumed to be false because it has not yet been proved true.[2][3] This has the effect of shifting the burden of proof to the person criticizing the proposition.

Why the appeal to ridicule fallacy?
That's would be a good question had I done that. Laughter isn't the same as ridicule, so now we can add "doesn't know what ridicule or a fallacy is" to the list.
I insist, please show me why my definition of positivism is wrong. You can post a link if you wish. Thank you.
And "doesn't know how 'burden of proof' works" is now on the list.

So tell me what is positivism...
Ha ha! Do your own research.

Some positivists would ask for scientific evidence of "meaning" or "purpose" of life. Positivism is very flawed and are everywhere lately with blind followers (usually they even don't know they're following it).
That's hilarious coming from someone who doesn't know what posotivism is and, in a twist of irony, is actually a practitioner of it without even knowing it.
