Abstract
John Locke is the founder of empiricism, the philosophical school that explains matter is the source of knowledge. In this presentation, I show the various principles that Locke uses to justify the meaning of idea, quality, sensation, and reflection. It is also important to understand how the blank slate is the foundation for objects impressing their effects on the senses. These slides will give information about the certain relationships between inference, hypothesis, and experimentation. If there is sufficient awareness of what Locke intends to illustrate, there is a greater variety of concepts that are generated from empiricism. The study of science and its connection to philosophy has a significant impact on the development of theory, universal ideas, and the ways that particular ideas relate mind to matter.
