analytical empiricism
Definition
- Analytical empiricism is a philosophical stance influencing multiple theories and methodologies across the social sciences. The core position argues that in order to be valid, all empirical analysis must make use of logically valid, primarily mathematical, languages to describe phenomena in such a manner that each description can only point toward a single “object.” Conceptual Overview Analytical empiricism, as with most forms of empiricism, starts with Francis Bacon's concept of a scientific method.
