Overview

This study aims to analyze the problem of knowledge that was the subject of research and controversy among thinkers in the era of John Locke at the end of the seventeenth century, the era in which sciences rose, and interest in empirical knowledge increased. Therefore, he focused his attention on the human mind as a tool for acquiring knowledge. This is what prompted him to pose a new epistemological question, which is to examine our own powers that exist in the human mind, in order to systematically reveal the origins, certainty, and limits of human knowledge. The study concluded that Locke contributed a great deal to enriching and developing the theory of knowledge in its modern empirical aspect. We find him demanding the rejection of innate principles and ideas, and he invites people to contemplate and deepen their thought, and this prompted him to say that there is no separation between knowledge and thought, and the truth is that we do not encounter knowledge except as thought. Thought is a verb of the mind, which contains nothing but thoughts; all our ideas come from experience.
