ESSAY ON: John Locke’s View of Substance

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This 5 page report discusses English philosopher, John Locke (1632-1704) and his focus on his beliefs regarding human ideas and the essence of “substance.” Arguing against the long-established proposition of intrinsic ideas, Locke believed that the mind is born blank, a tabula rasa upon which the world presents itself via the experience of the five senses. Knowledge arising from sensation is perfected by reflection, thus enabling humans to arrive at such ideas as space, time, and infinity. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
