Philosophy
Edward d'Hovell
Some writers, like d'Hovell and Weber, are known also as philosophers, while many more authors are known primarily for their philosophical works. Cembria is famous for the tradition of "Empiricism", a branch of the philosophy of knowledge that states that only knowledge verified by experience is valid, and "Concious Thought", sometimes referred to as the 'School of Common Sense'. The most famous philosophers of Cembrian Empiricism are Ethan Locke, Sir George Wivern and Charles Fisher, while James Dunhall, James Beckett and William Harolly were major exponents of the "common sense" school. Cembrian philosophy was always marked by deep connection to literature and interest in creativity, society, politics and nationalism; cosmos and religion were other primary subjects.
