Thread: Problem of Induction

I'd agree with that. The point I was making is that empiricism, in it's most simplistic description, is an attitude that if you cannot argue it, it is not true. This does not make it false, it just means that the concepts we argue are only as good as the foundation they rest upon and nothing is true in it's own sake.

However, because ultimately nothing is objectively provable, there is also no such thing as empirical knowledge, if we equate knowledge with truth.

In reality, knowledge is everywhere because learning is constantly occurring. But it's important to remember that the foundation of this knowledge has no absolute foundation to rest upon. Much like a building, we may be able to calculate the foundation of the building but we do not understand the consistency of the soil we build it upon.
