empirical observations and so called empirical knowledge is based upon induction. so called empirical knowledge is usually synthetetic posteriori.
that is a collection of corroborating facts leads to knowledge of an evnt.
for example. the sun has risen evry day for a long time. i suupose you might say that one knows that the sun will shine the next day. such knowledge is based upon induction.
the problem with induction is that the exception disproves the rule, and it will take an infinite number of occurrences to rpove with certain (, i.e., to know) that something is true.
that which is considered knowledge must be true and provable.
mathematics or logic based upon the analytic a priori principle is necessary to establish knowledge.
therefore, empirical knowledge is an oxymoron. if a conclusion is based upon empirical observation it does not constitute knowledge.
knowledge is tautological.
that is given axioms, and definitions proofs are possible.
euclidian geometry is a fertile field from which analytical proofs are possible.
