impression
David Hume argues that we must have a direct impression or experience to gain certain knowledge. According to Hume, all knowledge is ultimately based on sense experience or impressions that we receive through our senses. Only through direct experience can we gain certain knowledge that is beyond doubt or skepticism. Hume asserts that our concepts and ideas are ultimately derived from our sense impressions and that we cannot have knowledge of anything beyond our sense experience. Therefore, our senses are the only source of certain knowledge.
