On the Definition of Ideas and Impressions


The contents of the mind: (1) ideas (2) impressions (sensations & feelings) -- Ideas (concepts, beliefs, memories, mental images, etc.) are faint & unclear; impressions are strong & vivid.
Ideas are derived from impressions: All ideas are copies of impressions.
The meaning of ideas depends on impressions.
