Burke(yuck!)? Why not David Hume.
David Hume wrote in "A Treatise of Human Nature"
***** Philosophy cannot go beyond experience; and any hypothesis, that pretends to discover the ultimate original qualities of human nature, ought at first to be rejected as presumptuous and chimerical.... [and] is very sceptical, and tends to give us a notion of the imperfections and narrow limits of the human understanding.

What we need here is a study of the different ways in which we conceive an object, that's all.
