“Let us then suppose the mind to be, as we say, white paper, void of all characters, without any ideas. How comes it to be furni

shed? Whence has it all the materials of reason and knowledge? To this, I answer, in one word, from experience . . . . Our observation, employed either about external sensible objects or about the internal operations of our minds perceived and reflected on by ourselves, is that which supplies our understanding with all the materials of thinking.”
John Locke, “Essay Concerning Human Understanding”

Answer:

John Locke is expressing the ideas of empiricism.

Explanation:

Empiricism is the philosphical theory that states that all knowledge comes from human experience: from the information that a person obtains through his senses. Empiricism is contrary to other theories like idealism, or rationalism.

Jonh Locke was a very important empiricist, and he is in fact considered the founder of the British empiricist school. In the paragraph, Locke is saying that he believes all knowledge comes from human experience, because when a person is born, his mind is a blank, and can only be filled through sensorial information.

1.Why did the principles outlined in the Declaration of independence inspire revolutions in other parts of the world?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
  1. The Declaration of Independence has also been a source of inspiration outside the United States. It encouraged Antonio de Nariño and Francisco de Miranda to strive toward overthrowing the Spanish empire in South America, and it was quoted with enthusiasm by the marquis de Mirabeau during the French Revolution.
  2. The Americans' victory over the British may have been the single greatest impact on the French Revolution. The French people saw that a revolt could be successful – even against a major military power – and lasting change was possible. Many experts argue that this gave them the motivation to rebel
  3. Both want a change from being ruled by an absolute ruler, both have economic instability from war debt, both have social inequality. And also, both started because of enlightenment ideas
  4. Slaves initiated the rebellion in 1791 and by 1803 they had succeeded in ending not just slavery but French control over the colony. These revolutions were influenced by the French Revolution of 1789, which would come to represent a new concept of human rights, universal citizenship, and participation in government.
