OBS

"Empirique" peut désigner la première étape d’une démarche scientifique, cas où il est synonymique avec "expérimental"; il s’oppose par contre à "expérimental" quand le stade empirique d’une science est une fin et non une étape, par refus de la théorie ou du raisonnement(voir TLFRA, 1971, vol. 7, p. 971).
