    David Hume distinguished between impressions, which are direct experiences, and ideas, which are copies of impressions in the mind. He categorized impressions as either impressions of sensation from external objects or impressions of reflection from internal states like emotions. Ideas are less vivid copies of impressions and can be either simple reproductions of single impressions or complex combinations of multiple impressions.
