Abstract

In this part of the development of the theme, attention will be paid to the very original concept of verification found in Wittgenstein. The analysis is devoted to the 100th anniversary of his birth.
The purpose is to show that this concept is not the first formulation of the strict principle of verification, as Carnap (1936-37) meant, but to seek such a verification / contrac- ture theory that includes the concepts of verification / counterfeiting, proof and confirmation / anticipation of late neopositivity / analytical philosophy and proving the lime elemental tools of today's science.
Wittgenstein has reformulated Duhem's general concept of verification as the principle of verification and falsification in the concept of checking the rules and thus got the original theory that must be compared to each later.
