Empiricist's Claim

Alot of ones knowledge can be accredited to the sensed for i.e the knowledge of pain that is felt and just understood as pain by an individual. This may not be true for all knowledge, however knowledge such as accounting, physics, chemitry cannot be attributed to the use of our senses as the means of this knowledge of these subject matters.

You might say a bit about why physics etc are not amenable to an empiricist interpretation. Otherwise, I follow your thinking!
