A major philosophical movement during the 20th century. Its wide influence became deeply rooted in today's scientific practice, as well as in contemporary philosophy. Logical positivists were philosophers, scientists and mathematicians with varying philosophical ideas, although they shared the so-called "scientific world-view", which states that society's choices and beliefs should be based on science, and that true science produces knowledge strictly inferred from empirical data (i.e. what "appears to the senses" in some way). The most well-known group of logical positivists is the Vienna Circle.

The movement became dominant in philosophy during half of the 20th century, before losing its widespread popularity later on. Nowadays, though, logical positivism is increasingly studied in a more neutral manner, like any influential doctrine in the history of philosophy.

It’s not a fact, it’s a viewpoint coming essentially from philosopher Hilary Putnam and that criticized a doctrine (verificationism) already debated among the logical positivists themselves.
