Answer
**Empirical History** refers to Carr's critique of traditional historians who emphasized objective facts and empirical evidence while neglecting historical context and interpretation. He argued that history is inevitably shaped by the historian's perspective and influenced by the present, making true objectivity impossible. He advocated for a more interpretive approach that considers the historian's role in shaping historical narratives.
