Probably a stupid question but: does empiricism encompass the scientific method?

Empirism knowledge is derived from experience.
The mind is a blank sheet and knowledge begin with experience. Human fills ideas with 5 internal senses.
Deny rationalism that humans are born with knowledge.
Empirism emphasize on how human knowledge find their orgin of knowledge.

Isn't empiricism and postivism same with respect to sociology??

[miguelespejel]

The empirical adequacy of a theory is a means to a further end -testing hypotheses and evaluating their degree of approximate truth-, it is not the end in itself (that is in any case, in technology, but: sciences ≠ technologies). Furthermore, it is not the only means of evaluating theories. Indeed, there are conceptual evaluative procedures such as studying the internal or external consistency of an idea, etc.Radical empiricism is far outdated. Holding it is close to pseudo-philosophy and religion.

[zadeh]

An empiricist is someone who is extraordinarily angry about the world which oppressing their beliefs.

[traellong]

Philosophy is only a course, subject, major and minor only to debunk someone believing in the one and only true God
