empirycznemu

Empirycznemu is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form. It is the dative singular form of the Polish adjective empiryczny, which means empirical. In practice, empirycznemu appears when an associated neuter or masculine noun is in the dative case, for example in phrases like podejściu empirycznemu or badaniu empirycznemu. The exact form varies with the case and gender of the noun it modifies.

In meaning, empiryczny describes something derived from experience, observation or experiment rather than from theory alone. It is used to characterize knowledge, methods, data or conclusions that are based on evidence obtained through sensory observation, measurement or experimentation. In scientific and philosophical contexts, empirical approaches emphasize verifiable information gathered from the natural or social world.

In Polish usage, empiryczny and its inflected forms appear in many common expressions. Nauki empiryczne refer to fields that rely on observation and experiment, such as physics, chemistry and biology. Empirical evidence is described as dowód empiryczny, indicating information obtained by observation. The term contrasts with theoretical or a priori knowledge, which does not depend directly on measurements or experiments.

Etymology and related forms: empiryczny comes from Polish, rooted in the concept of experience, and is cognate with the English empirical. The word ultimately traces back through Latin and Greek roots related to experience and experiment. Understanding empiryczny and its forms, including empirycznemu, helps in parsing Polish phrases that discuss empirical methods, data and reasoning.
