Summary
As one of the most influential English philosophers, and best known for his epistemological and political views, Locke believed that knowledge begins with simple sense observations and their transformation into complex abstract ideas, while as the founder of empiricism, he established a distinction between the primary properties of existence (things that can be evaluated) and secondary properties (color, smell, sound, etc.), perceiving them as the result of the influence of primary properties on a passively observed object, thus determining the essence of empiricism beyond innate ideas - in other words, it is a tabula rasa on which natural experience is engraved.
