The relationship between knowledge and sensory experience is central to the debate between empiricism and rationalism, where empiricists argue that knowledge is derived from or limited to sensory experience {fact:3, fact:4, fact:5, fact:6, fact:7, fact:9, fact:11}, while rationalists contend that some knowledge is independent of it {fact:8, fact:10}. Additionally, John Greco's account of knowledge links the two by suggesting that reliable dispositions to form beliefs based on sensory experience can constitute knowledge [1], a view echoed by positivism's reliance on empirical measurement [2].
