Empirical experience

 Empirical experience refers to knowledge or evidence gained through observation, experimentation, or direct experience, rather than solely relying on theoretical assumptions or beliefs

Contrast with Theoretical Knowledge:

Unlike theoretical knowledge, which is derived from abstract reasoning and principles, empirical knowledge is grounded in real-world observations and experiences

Role in Research:

Empirical research is a core methodology in many scientific disciplines, where researchers systematically collect and analyze data to test hypotheses and build knowledge
