Reply to comment by Kyocus in Logical positivism does not dispense with metaphysics, as it aimed to. It merely proposes a different kind of metaphysics, in which natural sciences take the privileged position once occupied by rationalist metaphysics. by IAI_Admin
Many would argue that there are indeed other forms of knowing beyond or beneath language.
An example- the concept of physical intelligence; the continuous act of manipulating our body in space, using sensory inputs from our sensory organs, subconsciously. It's so innate that we forget that this is a condition we live with, always.
One may argue that this condition I describe is empirical, after all. It can be measured, observed, by nature of the veracity of the scientific studies' conclusions that are the evidence for my statements above. But.. In the process of waking life, we do not have to count anything, to "know" that this knowledge is real.
