Empiricism Epistemology Of Loke And Its Influence

John Loke is a famous philosopher in the history of European philosophy, the comprehensive expression of one of theory of western modern experience . His thought is extremely abundant , and it was his empiricism epistemology thought that earned great fame in the history of European philosophy for him.Loke described his empiricism epistemology thought in his work that<>systematicallyand deeply. Then, what is mean by experience?Expeirence spoken in daily life field and expeirence spoken in epistemology field are different. In daily life, people often regard a certain psychology experience,people experience in life or the training as experience . But in the field of epistemology, experience means a understanding stage and a form of epistemology that distinguish with rational knowledge , namely perceptual direct understanding.

So it can be concluded that experience that experience theorist say is only feeling,the same to Loke. Any thought or theory, are all results of specific social history. The empiricism epistemology of Loke is also like this. The historical background that the forming of Loke,s empiricism epistemology mainly include two respects. First, West European philosophy of the middle 15th century to the 16th century –Loke,s empiricism epistemology forming trace backe to.The middle 15 century to the 16th century is named as Renaissance that the great brilliant era in the history of European philosophy.
