* believed that the world could be understood through detailed observation and cataloging of phenomnenon.
*knowledge as fundamentally empirical
*inductive reasoning: observing as many examples as possible then working out the underlying principles.
*categorized knowledge based on their objects and the relative certainty which you could know these objects.
eg knowledge that is true all the time (math or logic) or knowledge that is not always certain (study of human behaviour) --> characterized by probability and imprecise explanations.
