Sensation and perception are two major keys to comprehend why the mind and body must work together in order to …show more content…
Innate knowledge being something that you are born already knowing would actually be a gene that creates a predisposition of neural sensitivity. For example, information is what comes through via wifi and to a computer. Knowledge is what the computer does with the information. The computer is ready to function once it receives input from either the wifi or keyboard. Therefore, new knowledge is not innate knowledge. “We can assert that all our impressions are innate and none of our ideas ‘impressions’ and ‘ideas’ in the sense explained above, and understanding by ‘innate’ what is original or not copied from any previous perception, then we can assert that all our impressions are innate and none of our ideas are innate” (Hume 10).
