'''Kuno Fischer''', born '''Ernst Kuno Berthold Fischer''', ([[July 23]], [[1824]] in Sandewalde bei [[Guhrau]] - [[July 5]], [[1907]] in [[Heidelberg]]) was a [[Germany|German]] [[philosopher]].
One of Fischer's most significant and lasting contributions to philosophy was the use of the [[empiricism]]/[[rationalism]] distinction in categorising philosophers, particularly those of the 17th and 18th century. These include [[John Locke]], [[George Berkeley]] and [[David Hume]] in the empiricist category and [[René Descartes]], [[Baruch Spinoza]] and [[Gottfried Leibniz]] in the rationalist category. Empiricism, it is said, claims that human knowledge is derived from sensation, i.e. experience, while rationalism claims that certain knowledge can be acquired before experience through pure principles. Although influential, in more recent times this distinction has been questioned as anachronistic in its failure to represent precisely the exact claims and methodologies of the philosophers it categorises.
