Reply to comment by LazyLich in Empiricism — the philosophy of Locke, Berkeley and Hume that argued knowledge was derived only from sensory experience (against Descartes’s Rationalists) and provided the philosophical foundation for the scientific method by thelivingphilosophy

The idea is that you don’t have any innate knowledge that comes from sensory experience or manipulation on that experience.

In fact, Hume argues that the entire concept of self is a sensory illusion in a way.
