Locke

Loke states that the way were learn is not innate. People can barely get by with natural fuculities. We are bron with knowlege but we learn new knowlege as we live are lives. For expample when we are born we are not able to math or talk. But as we grow our mind grows as well and we are able to talk and do math. Due to the fact that we were bron with the ablity to learn new things.

We learn new things through experience, but doesn't Locke believe our ideas are already in our mind? They just surface as we experience things.

Yeah your right he does think that but I think that we learn though experince.

Locke also says that infants can bring new ideas to the world but he says that they weren't born with these ideas but how can an infant do that, wouldn't they have to be innate? i dont really agree with locke. i think some things are innate.

I agree with you Stephanine I think that you have a good point that somethings are innate to humans however I think that many things are learned as we grow in experience

See we may have some ideas we are born with but we may not be able to acknowledge them until a stimulus brings it up. In a sense its almost like a memory. We don't recall it until something perks it.
