Recensies

1. Locke’s Essay remains a landmark in the history of philosophy. His clarity of argument and rejection of innate ideas laid the groundwork for modern empiricism. (Interesting Literature, 2023)

2. Locke’s rejection of innate ideas blinds him to the necessity of certain truths. His tabula rasa misses the role of reason in structuring experience. (G.W. Leibniz, New Essays on Human Understanding, 1704 – bron)
