Wait a second... I'm really an empiricist?

[The One and Only...]

After doing some reading in my textbook, I discovered that Aristotle's epistemological view is somewhat similar to my: that is, that ultimately, all logical arguments can be brought back to an inductive premise. Thus, Aristotle, much like myself, thought that everything which we initially learn without deductive processes was by virtue of induction, rather than intuition or the like.

The thing that disturbs me is that Aristotle has been portrayed as a classical empiricist.

But, you see, I just don't fit the empiricist's bill. I'll grant you that our initial existential knowledge is created via induction - but induction, regardless of the fact that it is based on experience, is still a logical process. And, thus, it is not experience itself which delivers knowledge.

Or, perhaps I am misunderstanding what is meant by empiricism?
