Empiricism

Empiricism champions experiential knowledge, prioritizing perceptions gleaned through the five senses over innate ideas. This idea evolved into various strands such as Phenomenalism, Positivism, Scientism, and Logical Positivism, each refining the core principle in distinct ways.

Proposition 2: Not everyone believes the same things naturally from birth.

Conclusion: Relying on what we experience through our senses, rather than ideas we're born with, makes sense for understanding the world.
