- This is clearly shown by the fact that traditional philosophers believe that there is nothing in our understanding that wasn’t first in our senses.

In other words, while sight, smell, and hearing all provide similar levels of certainty, neither imagination nor the senses can assure us of anything without the involvement of our understanding.
