Summary

In An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, John Locke explores the nature of human knowledge and understanding. He argues against the notion of innate ideas, suggesting instead that the mind is a blank slate at birth, shaped by experience and sensory perception. Locke systematically examines how we form ideas and acquire knowledge, laying the foundation for modern empiricism and influencing subsequent philosophical thought.
