Empiricism (n.) is the poorest and most empty kind of knowledge because it posits differences in all things which are nothing after all but abstract attributes, i.e., thoughts. And so, empiricism by its very method, is brought back to what it had initially separated from: The primacy of thought.
Empiricism (n.) is wrongheaded because 'the multitude can never equal the universal (for a mere enumeration of all existent things lacks the thought of their totality)'.
Empiricism (n.) is wrongheaded because it lacks some universal concept to unify existent things as a whole and as a result, falls back, despite itself, on the very faculty of thought which it tried to dispose of.
Empiricism (n.) is the wrongheaded search for truth in experience instead of in thought. It is on such principles that the modern German Philosophy has reproduced the ambitious but inane attempts of Scholasticism.
Empiricism (n.) suspends itself: wanting to hold the general in sensory form, it turned 'vitreous' and 'resinous' electricity into the pure concepts positive and negative.
