"Toute notre connaissance trouve son origine dans nos perceptions."
Simplified meaning
We learn everything we know through our senses, like seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, and smelling. Think about how a baby discovers the world. They touch things to feel textures, listen to sounds, and watch movements. That's how they start understanding what things are and how they work. Similarly, a person might understand that fire is hot by seeing the flames and feeling the heat. Our experiences with these sensations are the foundation of all our knowledge. If someone wants to learn new things, they should pay close attention to the world around them and trust their senses to guide them. For instance, a chef tastes their food to understand the flavors and make the dish better. This shows how essential our perceptions are in gaining knowledge and improving skills.
