I don't like the empirical method. why? because basically it says that everything humans can't explain doesn't exist. If that isn't closed minded then I don't know what is. By using the empirical method your mind does not exist. We all know that isn't true. Every living person has a mind regardless of it's health.

The empirical method says that, to prove a theory, you set up an experiment. It doesn't say that if you can't prove something, it doesn't exist -- it says that if you can't prove something, it MAY or MAY NOT exist. It's about being open-minded actually... Until you prove something, assume it can either be true OR not be true.
The empirical method is based on reality -- and that's the most important thing. |
