Science is both a technique (the scientific method) and a body of knowledge arising from that technique, which is based upon objective and methodical examination of the world, experimentation, and mathematical analysis of data.
Empirical is defined in the oxford dictionary as something based on experience or observation rather than logic. For data to be considered empirical it does not need to be fact. It is often used interchangeably with first hand experience. Therein, one could say that empirical findings are extrapolated anecdotal data, as anecdotal is also defined as being based on personal experience rather than facts. Theoretical evidence would explicitly oppose empirical evidence because it is based on calculation and cannot be opinionated. It is meant to be concise and eliminate ambiguity which empirical or anecdotal evidence can not.
Scientific thinking requires objectivity, clarity and logic in observation, analysis and presenting the results or choosing the appropriate actions.Therefore even everyday problems that are not scientific or technical per se, may advantageously respond to a similar philosophy.
logic required by all sciences because
Natural philosophers study the natural world through observation and sometimes experimentation to understand its underlying principles and phenomena. They aim to explain natural phenomena using reason and logic rather than religious or supernatural explanations.
Empirical data is obtained through observation or experimentation. The nature of empirical data is considered unstable because, even if an evaluation process is strict, scientists can disagree on the findings because observation is dependent on the individual observer.
One basic shortcoming of the Greek philosophers' approach was their reliance on abstract reasoning and lack of experimentation. They focused more on rational thought and logic rather than empirical observation and testing hypotheses through experimentation, which limited their understanding of the material world.
Science is a systematized body of knowledge gathered through carefully observing and measuring events.... This helps to measure the events. Science uses a combination of very precise observation and experimentation, logic and intuition, and then tries to understand the rules which predominate in this world...
Empirical evidence is based on direct observation or experience rather than theory or logic. It is verifiable through experimentation or observation and can be used to support or refute hypotheses. Empirical evidence is often used in scientific research to make conclusions based on real-world data.
Empirical methods rely on observation and experimentation to gather data, while rational methods use logic and reasoning to analyze information.
The threefold approach to the study of the natural world combines observation, experimentation, and reasoning. Observation involves gathering data through senses or instruments, experimentation tests hypotheses in controlled settings, and reasoning uses logic to interpret findings and make conclusions. By integrating these three methods, scientists can gain a comprehensive understanding of the natural world.
Aristotle was not an experimentalist. He based his understanding of the world on observation, and reasoning, and on scholarship, which is to say, familiarity with the opinions of other scholars, but this did not involve experimentation.
Logic and Observation
Empirical science relies on observation and experimentation to gather data and test hypotheses, while formal science uses logic and mathematical reasoning to develop theories and models.
Logic, observation and mathematics. Logic for figuring things out, observation for noticing things, math for getting exact numbers.
It means to answer a question using logic.
