 And Rudolf Carnap sought to formalize inductive logic to confirm universal laws through probability as "degree of confirmation".Yet the Vienna Circle had pioneered "non"foundationalism, a legacy especially of its member Otto Neurath, whose coherentism—the main alternative to foundationalism—likened science to a boat that scientists must rebuild at sea without ever touching shore.And neopositivists did not seek rules of inductive logic to "regulate" scientific discovery or theorizing, but to "verify" or "confirm" laws and theories once scientists pose them.
