    definition of emprical----Relying on or derived from observation.
    You used the exampleof being thirsty and drinking (drinking is
    observable,your being thirsty isn't-- probably some physio test
    though where it might?)

    You've never experienced thirst?

    erin:
    The actions that stem from values are observable but values are not
    so don't feel comfortable with "value is empirical" statement.

    msh says:
    You've never observed value in a poem, a painting, a pair of shoes?

    I think we might be more helpful if, instead of asking us to guess
    which philosophical concepts you find comfortable, you might pick an
    idea from the MOQ and tell us why you think it is non-rational or non-
    empirical.

    Thanks,
