Mitä tarkoittaa

Empirismi on filosofinen suuntaus, joka korostaa kokemuksen ja havaintojen merkitystä tiedon hankinnassa. Se vastustaa rationalismia, joka painottaa järjen ja loogisen päättelyn roolia. Empiristiset filosofit, kuten John Locke, George Berkeley ja David Hume, ovat korostaneet, että kaikki tieto alkaa aistihavainnoista. Empirismi on erityisen tärkeä luonnontieteissä, joissa kokeellinen tutkimus ja toistettavuus ovat keskeisiä tiedon hankinnan menetelmiä. Empirismi on myös vaikuttanut moniin muihin tieteenaloihin, kuten psykologiaan ja yhteiskuntatieteisiin, joissa havaintojen ja kokemusten analysointi on olennaista.
