Get the The Abrahamic Empire mug.The use of empiricism in bad faith—demanding empirical evidence for things that cannot be empirically accessed, or dismissing non-empirical knowledge as worthless. Empirical Sophism treats "empirical" as a magic word that ends inquiry: if it's not measurable, it's not real. The sophist ignores that empiricism itself is a philosophical position, not a self-evident truth, and that many important domains (ethics, mathematics, experience) resist empirical methods. It's sophistry in a lab coat: using science's prestige to dismiss everything outside science.
"You can't prove consciousness empirically, so it must be illusion. Empirical Sophism: demanding empirical evidence for the very condition of having experience. The demand is absurd, which is the point. Empiricism becomes a weapon against the empirical world's own foundations."
