Empiricism. It is a philosophical theory that emphasizes the role of EXPERIENCE, linked to sensory perception, in the formation of knowledge.
For the most extreme empiricism, experience is the basis of all knowledge, not only in its origin but also in its content.
Being part of the sensible world to form the concepts and these find, in the sensible, their justification and their limitation.
The term empiricism comes from the Greek Euteipia whose Latin translation is EXPERIENTIA from which EXPERIENCE derives.
Empiricism, under that name, arises in the Modern Age as a mature fruit a philosophical trend that has developed over the whole of the United Kingdom since the late Middle Ages. It is usually considered as opposed to the so-called rationalism, as the analytic-synthetic distinction is usually understood in a clear way as it was in previous times and rather one or the other position obeys methodological and heuristic questions or vital attitudes rather than fundamental philosophical principles.
Regarding the problems of universals, empiricists tend to sympathize with and continue the nominalist criticism that began in the late Middle Ages.
In classical antiquity, the empirical refers to the knowledge that doctors, architects, artists and artisans in general obtained through their experience directed towards the useful and technical, as opposed to theoretical knowledge conceived as contemplation of the truth of truth on the sidelines of any use.
Scientific Administration
It seeks to implement scientific methods for problems for administration problems in order to achieve industrial efficiency.
It is required by studies, universities, workshops, the main founder is the American engineer Frederick W. Taylor.
The main representatives of the scientific administration are:
Frederick Taylor.
Henry Gant.
Frank and Lillian Gilbreth.
Frederick Taylor.
Whose main objective was focused on increasing productivity and improving the performance of workers to achieve greater efficiency.
Beginning:
Development of a true science of administration.
Scientific selection of workers.
Worker education and development.
Close and friendly cooperation between workers and employers.
Henry Gantt.
His best known contribution was the Gantt chart which is a practical aid for planning, programming and controlling.
He also devised a system of salary incentives that not only contemplated an extra payment to workers for reaching a standard in a timely manner, but also granted a bonus to supervisors when workers achieved it.
Frank and Lillian Gilbert.
Other advocates for the administration studied the movements, and Lillian was one of the first to apply the discoveries of psychology to the workplace.
Scientific administration has taken empiricism, which is a philosophical theory that is based on experience, linked to sensory perception, to develop scientific methods since empiricism is the basis of all knowledge, not only in terms of its origin but in regarding its content, since the main objective of scientific administration is focused on increasing productivity and improving the performance of workers to achieve greater efficiency. So empiricism plays a very important role in scientific administration, since experience is what often determines the role or function that a worker will perform in a company, which is why many people without professional titles or having some type of academic training they are experts in some art and when you ask them where they learned it they answer that they never went to any university but they learned it through practice, so empiricism is a philosophy that affirms that all human knowledge is necessarily a product from the experience has been learned from it and thanks to it.
Reason why the scientific administration owes much to him since the empiricism is the source and base of all the economy and wealth of the humanity.
Because representatives of scientific administration such as Taylor, Gantt would never have come to full knowledge of his theory if it had not been for empiricism since, based on the experience and perception they had in their previous offices, they came to develop scientific administration since they realized what were the mistakes that were already made if they could improve them by implementing scientific methods and achieve greater industrial efficiency, which I show that everything comes from empiricism that as I have already said before is the basis of all economy and wealth of humanity.
