Empiricism

What do you make of empiricism's claim that all of our knowledge is based on the use of our senses? What areas of knowledge do you think support this theory? Are there any types of knowledge (mathematical knowledge, for example?) that you think are a problem for this theory?

I am in agreeance with the claim that all of our knowledge is based on our senses. experience; the conscious events that make up an individual life. the events that make up the conscious past of a community or nation or humankind generally. All that we know is from experience and what we were taught growing up.

"at birth empiricism argue, our minds are like "blank tablets" they do not contain anything until they have been filled up with sensory experience" I have a three year old and I must say I knew nothing about being a mom prior to giving birth. I'm the last of 3 siblings therefore I was always care for and didn't have a younger sibling to "practice on". I knew nothing. but with questions and experience I was able to learn how to do certain things as a mom.

I am in the place I am today based on life's experience and challenges. experience is what helps you to grow. I'm taking Math150 and I must say each class is mind blowing( I hate math) but its so different. even if someone explained it to me 100 times I wouldn't get it unless I experienced it with my own eyes or ears. same goes for my criminal justice class.
