  Erik Orrje addressed criticism #3503.

I don’t think so, no.

The BoI chapter 1 glossary defines empiricism as “The misconception that we ‘derive’ all our knowledge from sensory experience.” I’m not saying empirical fields derive knowledge from sensory experience.

There’s a difference between ‘empiricism’ and ‘empirical’.

Cool, would you say then that it is only in empirical fields we can deduce facts/truth?

If so: In what way is this different from Wittgenstein saying we can't reach any truths in philosophy (which makes it meaningless)?
