Famous british empiricist philosopher and political theorist who put forth the tabula rasa theory of human knowledge.

The correct answer is John Locke

John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philosopher, one of the most important philosophers of empiricism. He exercised great influence over several philosophers of his time, including George Berkeley and David Hume.

His French disciple, Etienne Condilac, used his empirical theory to criticize metaphysics in the following century.

As a representative of liberal individualism, he defended the constitutional and representative monarchy, which was the form of government established in England after the Revolution of 1688.

One of the greatest British empiricists, Locke claimed that knowledge came from experience, both from external sources, in sensations, and from internal sources, through reflections.

He explained that before we perceive anything, the mind is like a blank sheet of paper, but after we start to perceive everything around it, "simple sensory ideas" arise.

These sensations are worked on by thought, knowledge, belief and doubt, resulting in what Locke called "reflection". The mind is not a mere passive receiver. It classifies and processes all sensations as it forms our knowledge and personality.
