I think most people understand 'political positivism' to be the application of positivist methodology (which sees all truth as verifiable statements of empirically-observable fact) to political science. This page does not correspond to the widely-accepted meaning of 'political positivism'. 82.10.210.54 (talk) 03:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Jamal

I agree. It is either the method, or the application of the philosophical fundamentals of 19th century positivism in European and Latin-American countries in that same century.Kevinklop (talk) 11:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
