Question

1.    What is the verifiability criterion of meaning?

Answer 1

This is a philosophical doctrine which implies that statements that are verifiable empirically or through the normal senses are only meaningful on a cognitive front. Unless these pertain to the cognitive front, these statements will not be meaningful on the other hand, these would be tautologies.

As a result, the cognitively meaningless statements would be rejected and these would be applied to different fields such as ethics, metaphysics, theology or spirituality as well as aesthetics.
