THE CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF LOCKE AND BERKELEY CONCEPT OF KNOWLEDGE.

INTRODUCTION

The object of knowledge was described by John Locke. Even though all we ever have of knowledge is ideas in our heads, Locke believed that at least some of these ideas represent real things in the outside world, resulting in an empirical conception of knowing and rejection of innate notions. Locke is assuming that our understanding of the categorical shape attribute comes from our experience with shapes. In this chapter, I shall attempt to characterize and articulate the object of knowledge’s limit, breadth, and extension. Arguments derived from Locke’s model of perception, comprehending perceptual knowledge of things, Lockean arguments for direct realism, and Locke’s theory of ideas argument will be reviewed.
