Reply to comment by ridgecoyote in Logical positivism does not dispense with metaphysics, as it aimed to. It merely proposes a different kind of metaphysics, in which natural sciences take the privileged position once occupied by rationalist metaphysics. by IAI_Admin

Russell was not a logical positivist, he predates the logical positivists and only agrees with some aspects of their project.

Thanks for the update. Never been a big Russel fan. I prefer Josiah Royce’s metaphysical system and find it more logical
