Epilogism is a style of inference used by the ancient Empiric school of medicine. It is a theory-free method that looks at history through the accumulation of facts without major generalization and with consideration of the consequences of making causal claims.[1] Epilogism is an inference which moves entirely within the domain of visible and evident things, it tries not to invoke unobservables.
