Abstract
In this paper I shall argue that the kind of positivism influenced by radical empiricism has the resources to develop a reductionist program that still allows thought to reach (albeit indirectly) beyond what is given in experience. In reaching this conclusion I also argue that it was always important for the positivist to distinguish limits on what can be verified from limits on what can be meaningfully thought.
