The famous danish astronomer tycho brahe observed and charted the movement of the stars across the night sky. his approach to astronomy was different than many earlier astronomers whose theories were informed by religion, philosophy and politics. brahe was clearly a proponent of ________, which emphasizes observation and personal experience

Answer 1

Empiricism

Step-by-step explanation:

Empiricism stipulates that knowledge only gained mainly from sensory experience i.e., by sight, touch, sound, taste and smell. The evidence required to prove a hypothesis must involve the use of the five sense organs. The evidence used to prove a hypothesis should be consistent and should not depend on the perspective of the observer. Different people examining the results of an experiment should come to the same conclusion.

Answer 2

Empirical knowledge is based on observation and personal experience. It is not based on theory but experimentation.

The term is derived from the Greek word "empeiría" which means "experience".

for example, to do an empirical study of shoe-making companies, one needs to visit every company one can find to complete the study.
