Reply to comment by LazyLich in Empiricism — the philosophy of Locke, Berkeley and Hume that argued knowledge was derived only from sensory experience (against Descartes’s Rationalists) and provided the philosophical foundation for the scientific method by thelivingphilosophy

I’d say it’s still empiricism ; my argument would be that “experience” is the key word in “sensory experience”. Perhaps sensory experience is more than physical perception/sensation and inward sense is still sensory experience. Contrasted with rationalism, ie. knowledge can be passed via words, language, I think it tracks for the purpose of this argument.
