Explanation: John Locke (1632-1704), was an English philosopher and political theorist. He is considered to be the founder of the British Empiricism, and his idea of overseeing and controlling the liberal government by the citizens they have chosen is also known. Locke's empiricism is the theory by which every knowledge is the result of experience, so that when someone is born his knowledge is a blank board as Locke argued. So there is no innate knowledge, every knowledge is acquired by experience, and experience is sensation and reflection. The human mind gathers information based on experience, and it creates ideas that then compares, analyzes and combines. Thus combined ideas create a certain kind of relationship between them in the human mind, which is knowledge.
