I always thought Kant's concepts on the limits of what we can know or

almost Platonist way states there is the noumena that is beyond or
transcendent from the phenomenon that we can directly observe or know
with some degree of certainty. Positivism always struck me as a denial
system on the noumena.
I think positivists just renounced the ability to know anything about
the noumena. Vic was less of a positivist than Kant, since he said the
our theories are constrained by reality and so must tell us something
about it.

In psychology this found its form in the Skinner idea that
consciousness had not bearing, and just outwards behavior was all.
