Rationalists have always admitted that sense experience can provide some knowledge. Aside from myself...
Recall that I believe even though sense data is a necessary component, it does not provide knowledge. What provides knowledge - and practical knowledge, rather than absolute, mind you - is the logical argument which uses the data. Also note that we inherently know how to inductively reason.
In other words, is Aristotle incorrectly labelled an empiricist?
