Answer :  Empiricism


The idea that knowledge comes from experience is Empiricism.

Epistemology is the study of knowledge. It deals with origin, nature, scope, and methods to acquire knowledge. The term was first used by Frederick Ferrier. There are basically two ways to acquire knowledge— rationalism and empiricism.

Rationalism tends to believe that logic and reason as the means of acquiring knowledge. Mind is given the authority over senses. This is basically a priori use of logic and reason come first to conclude something before experience. Rationalism is associated with deduction.

Empiricists claim that sense experience is the ultimate starting point for all our knowledge. The senses give us all our raw data about the world, and without this raw material, there would be no knowledge at all. This is termed as a posteriori. It is related to induction.
