Description from the creator

This video examines stance empiricism, proposed by Bas van Fraassen in his book "The Empirical Stance". I begin by outlining some of the problems with standard definitions of empiricism, and then turn to van Fraassen's argument against construing empiricism as a belief. I then discuss the features of empiricism as a stance, and the empiricist critique of metaphysics.
