          • ie. "blank slate", we are born with no innate ideas
        • An idea is "The object of thinking"
          • Acquired through 2 different types of perceptions:
            • Sensation
              • Sensible qualities that are gained through our senses
                • Eg. colour heat etc.
              • allows us to gain ideas through...
                • Reflection
                  • once we have ideas through  sensation we are able to perceive the operations of our own mind within us
                    • Reflection can only be done once we have ideas we have gained through sensation
                      • Sensible qualities that are gained through our senses

                  • eg. perceptions, doubting, believing, reasoning
            • We can use the original two types of ideas to form:

                • Sensation
                  • allows us to gain ideas through...
                • SImple ideas

                • Mind is "tabula rasa"
                  • ie. "blank slate", we are born with no innate ideas
                • Which we add ideas to
                  • and commit to memory, then abstract them and add learnt names through reflections
            • Refutes rationslism or  innatism in specific nativism
              • Nativism is the view we are born knowing everything, but no philospher agrees with this
                • Though Plato's views  could be seen as such
          • Hume
            • Disliked Locke's lack of clarity when it came to:
              • Impressions
                • impressions of reflection
                  • From our mind eg. emotions
                • impressions of sensations
                  • From our sensory information e.g. smell

                • Faint copies of impressions
                  • Idea of refection
                    • Feeling of sad
                  • We have the idea of sensation

                    • Idea of pain
                    • Idea of refection
