Empiricism vs. Dualism — What's the Difference?

In philosophy, empiricism is a theory that states that knowledge comes only or primarily from sensory experience. It is one of several views of epistemology, along with rationalism and skepticism.

The condition of being double; duality.

The view that experience, especially of the senses, is the only source of knowledge.

(Philosophy) The view that the world consists of or is explicable as two fundamental entities, such as mind and matter.

Employment of empirical methods, as in science.

(Psychology) The view that mental and physical properties are fundamentally different and that neither can be explained fully in terms of the other.

An empirical conclusion.

The concept that the world is ruled by the antagonistic forces of good and evil.

The practice of medicine that disregards scientific theory and relies solely on practical experience.

The concept that humans have two basic natures, the physical and the spiritual.

Medicine as practised by an empiric, founded on mere experience, without the aid of science or a knowledge of principles; folk medicine, quackery.

Duality; the condition of being double.

(philosophy) A doctrine which holds that the only or, at least, the most reliable source of human knowledge is experience, especially perception by means of the physical senses. (Often contrasted with rationalism.)

(philosophy) The view that the world consists of, or is explicable in terms of, two fundamental principles, such as mind and matter or good and evil.

A pursuit of knowledge purely through experience, especially by means of observation and sometimes by experimentation.

(theology) The belief that the world is ruled by a pair of antagonistic forces, such as good and evil; the belief that man has two basic natures, the physical and the spiritual.

Used to describe research based on methodology shaped from empirical philosophy (see above), e.g. surveys, statistics, etc.
