76. Propositions about Science

3. What is "scientifically" knowable is in each case given in advance by a "truth" which is never graspable by science, a truth about the recognized region of beings. Beings as a region lie in advance for science, they constitute a positum, and every science is in itself a "positive" science (including mathematics).

What's the relation, if any, between MH's use of positivum and Logical Positivists?
 
You mean positum? I think that's just a proposition posited. I haven't read Carnap, et al, to know their particulars.
