Lecture 2 (locke - issue on innate ideas) Audio recording started: 11:06 pm january 5, 2017. Idea = mental representation ( e. g. , idea of flamingo, colour, thought, god, math, novel) Innatism (descartes") = some ideas (not all) are innate also by experience (e. g. , god, mind, body, math) Empiricism (locke) = all ideas are derived from experience or like a blank sheet. (math) From reflection = experience of our own mind. All ideas from experience of one"s mind (bodies) Simple ideas all from experience or sense perception (human body, color) Complex ideas either from experience or mode by the human mind from its ideas. Locke - the issue is our knowledge derives from the experience (mental representation = idea) Not all from experience, but from internal experience (second source of our human mind) - he does not think all our knowledge comes from experience.
