metempirical

adj. describing or pertaining to knowledge that is not subject to verification by experience and thus cannot be established by the methods of science. As described by British writer George Henry Lewes (1817–1878), the metempirical is roughly equivalent to the notion of the transcendent developed by German philosopher Immanuel Kant (see noumenon; transcendence).
