Terminology Tuesday: Eschatological verificationism
View that the truth or falsity of religious statements is capable of empirical verification-but only after death. John Hick developed this view as a response to the logical positivist charge that religious propositions are cognitively meaningless because they are not empirically verifiable. See also empiricism; logical positivism; language, religious (theories of).
