I'm not sure I like the idea of empiricism being labeled as mere philosophy.
Which is pretty much the division Kennedy is talking about. From a classical Chinese perspective, the two ideas are so deeply linked that to suggest one is not a subset of the other and vise-verse (pretty much ad infinitum) is nearly incomprehensible: Facts are understood through philosophy; philosophy is understood through facts.
