Empirialism

That which results in the building of an empire and the anagramic truth in the word "imperialism". Generally considered to be a self-defeating form of governance.

In the latter half of the twentieth century, The United States, after the destruction of its manufacturing base, began utilizing empirialism in order to secure the resources necessary to maintain their precarious and ill-fated position as world leader. Rome and Great Britain are other historical examples of the failed policy of empirialism.

Studies of Empiricism

A critical field that examines the history, philosophy, and practice of empiricism—the claim that knowledge comes primarily from sensory experience. Studies of empiricism show that “experience” itself is theory‑laden, that observation is never pure, and that empiricism as an ideology has been used to dismiss non‑Western knowledge systems. They trace how empiricism became the dominant epistemology of the modern West and explore its limits.

Example: “Studies of empiricism revealed that what counted as ‘empirical evidence’ in 19th‑century anthropology was often racist caricature dressed in measurement—the method was used to naturalize hierarchy.”
