Charlottesville, VA: Imprint Academic.īuss, D. Blanchard (Ed.), Darwinian conservatism: A disputed question (2009). Locke’s essay, however, was widely read and a great influence on future generations of thinkers.Arnhart, L. In the fourth century B.C., in his work “De Anima,” Aristotle makes a similar proposition. Locke was not the first philosopher to compare the mind to a blank writing surface. In the essay, Locke goes on to explain how sensation and reflection produce such concepts as time, space, number, solidity, power, identity and moral relations. In addition, other faculties, such as memory, store ideas. According to Locke, the three types of actions performed on simple ideas consist of combining simple ideas into complex ideas, comparing simple ideas without uniting them and forming abstractions from particulars. The essay states that though humans are born without content, they have the basic faculties to absorb and process content once they acquire it. He calls the mind a “tabula rasa,” or blank sheet or writing tablet. John Locke puts forth his theory in Book II of his work, “An Essay Concerning Human Understanding,” first published in 1670.
