Does Empiricism = Anarchism?

Post by Daktoria »

Does a study of facts in society necessitate a commitment to real power politics such that there is no such thing as legitimacy behind authority?

Instead, everything would be about power politics, and empiricism would literally be used to calculate the distribution of power within society.
