Empiricism
Empiricism is a philosophical belief that knowledge is primarily gained through sensory experiences and observations. Empiricists emphasize the importance of evidence, data, and experimentation in understanding the world. They believe that knowledge is derived from our interactions with the environment rather than innate ideas or reasoning alone.
Yes, I agree.
Although they are not considered "anamolies" now, at the time these observations did not fit into standard ideas about the cosmos: 1) Jupiter has moons. 2) The Milky Way consists of stars. 3) Venus has phases over time.
This belief aligns with the theory of nativism, which posits that certain knowledge or abilities are innate and universally shared. It suggests that humans are born with inherent perceptual principles that guide how we interpret sensory information from the environment. Additionally, this perspective implies that these principles are not learned through experiences, but are rather present from birth.
Kepler used Brahe's precise astronomical observations to demonstrate that the orbits of planets are elliptical rather than circular. This groundbreaking revelation is encapsulated in his First Law of Planetary Motion, which states that each planet moves in an ellipse with the Sun at one of its two foci. This challenged the long-held belief in circular orbits and laid the foundation for modern celestial mechanics.
Some questions about knowledge include: How do we acquire knowledge? What is the difference between knowledge and belief? How do we determine if knowledge is reliable or accurate?
Gettier examples show that it's possible to have a true belief that is justified, but still not be considered knowledge. This challenges the traditional idea that knowledge requires a belief to be justified, true, and believed.
Knowledge is true, and belief is something that is claimed to be true.

Using scientific methods requires making careful observations, developing a model to explain the observations and then put forward testable hypotheses about what might happen in some given circumstances. Most other methods develop a model based on belief and do not propose testable hypotheses.
In some philosophical perspectives, belief can be seen as logically prior to knowledge, as belief often serves as a foundation for acquiring knowledge. Belief can be an initial stance or assumption that opens the door to seeking and attaining knowledge through inquiry and experience.
Knowledge is typically defined as justified true belief. This means that for something to be considered knowledge, it must be believed to be true, there must be justification or evidence to support that belief, and the belief must actually be true. Additionally, knowledge should be based on reliable sources and methods of inquiry.
"Beliefs" only requires faith. Facts requires proof. Technically, your question is correct because you used the word "BELIEF".
Belief is accepting something as true without evidence, while knowledge is information that is supported by evidence and can be verified as true.
The belief system is flawed; It requires an input from you!
