👉 "Nonempirical" refers to a method or theory that is not based on empirical evidence and relies solely on principles, theories, or observations. It is often used in fields such as physics, economics, sociology, and philosophy where there are no direct observable data or experiments to support the claims of empirical research. Nonempirical approaches aim to explain phenomena without relying heavily on quantitative data, which can be challenging for scientists who have to prove their theories through experiments or other observational methods.
