empiricism in epistemology

Knowledge ultimately derives from sensory experience {empiricism, epistemology}|. Perceptions have elementary sensory images or units. Minds build concepts by abstracting common properties from perceptions. Complex ideas {image} are simple-idea combinations. Abstract ideas, such as mathematics or self, come from sensory ideas. Minds can compare, identify, use logic, and actively perform other mental activities.
