What is weak about Empiricism is this : the basis of empiricism cannot be derived from observation. One cannot see that what one sees is true. One can only assume. Is this not relying on one's a priori knowledge?
Rationalism on the other hand allows for some basic beliefs, that a priori knowledge. Rationalists can say that it is rational to hold all that is logical is true. Therefore not self-contradictory.
