More about the book
The essay explores the limitations of strict empiricism, arguing that while all knowledge is derived from empirical observation, it cannot guarantee predictions about future events. Even with countless observations of gravity, one cannot predict the behavior of the next falling object. The work emphasizes that empiricism is confined to interpreting past occurrences and relies on the assumption that future events will mirror those past experiences, highlighting a fundamental constraint in the philosophy of knowledge.
