An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding, Volume 1, by John Locke, is a cornerstone of empiricist philosophy, published in 1689, arguing that the mind starts as a blank slate (tabula rasa), and all knowledge comes from sensory experience and reflection, not innate ideas, laying the foundation for modern understanding of perception, ideas, and cognition. It distinguishes between passively received sensory data (like colors) and actively constructed concepts (like numbers and substance).
