Understanding knowledge
Locke sought to trace all ideas or concepts back to their origin in experience. He did not limit experience to sense experience, but included introspective awareness of the mind as it performed various mental operations as part of what he meant by experience, a qualification often not noticed by his immediate followers.
He mean different with Descartes
At the first, Locke is tottally different from descartes as he is an empiricist while descartes is rationalist, but, they aren’t opposed sharply. Locke endorsed descartes view of knowledge. Locke aggre with descartes concerning the nature of knowledge
Empiricism in philosophy
Empiricism is conviction saying that human ideas and knowledge are based and gained through experience
Sensation
Sendation is what we experience through our senses, including extension, shape, quantity and qualities. This great source of most of the ideas we have, depending wholly upon oue senses and derived by them to the understanding.
reflection
This source of ideas every man has wholly in himself, and though it be not sense, as having nothing to do with external objects, yet it is very like it and might properly enough be called internal sense. Reflection is the ideas afford being such only as the mind gets by reflecting on its own operations within itself.
a man begin to think
Begin to think when he grow up. Children, when they come first into it, are surrounded with a world of new things which, by a constant solicitation of their senses, draw the mind constantly to them, forward to take notice of new and apt to be delighted with the variety of changing objects.
true keep thinking
Though thinking be supposed never so much the proper action of the soul, yet it is not necessary to suppose that it should be always thinking, always in action. That perhaps, is the privilege of the infinite Author and Preserver of all things, ‘who never slimber nor sleeps’; but is not competent to any finite being, at least not to the soul of man.
Knowledge
Knowledge is totally simple because they used only one of the sensation of the human body, but, it could be complex when people use many of their sensation to understand that natural knowledge in their life.
