Locke’un doğuştan ilkeler eleştirisi ve Tabula Rasa olarak zihin

Kıta felsefesinin öne sürdüğü doğuştan ilkeler öğretisi ve buna bağlı olarak Tanrı idesinin ve ilgili diğer kavramların insan zihnine kazınmış olduğu düşüncesi, görgül felsefenin önemli eleştiri konularının başında gelir. Locke, insan zihninin tabula rasa olmasından dolayı, bilgilerin doğuştan zihne kazınmadığını, geleneksel kabûlün aksine bilgilerin deneyim yoluyla kazanıldığını savunur. Bu yazıda, Locke'un rasyonel felsefenin savunduğu doğuştan ilkeler kuramına getirdiği eleştiriler ve bilginin deneyim yoluyla zaman içinde elde edildiği savunusu ele alınacak ve filozofun konuya ilişkin getirdiği kanıtlar incelenecektir.

Locke's criticism of innate principşes and the mind as Tabula Rasa

The doctrine of the innate principles affirmed by continental philosophy and correspondingly thinking on which the idea God and other relevant notions were imprinted are the main of the important critical subjects of empirical philosophy. Locke argues that knowledge was not imprinted to mind inherently, contrary to traditional assent, it was acquired by experience, due to the fact that the human mind is tabula rasa. In this paper, it will be dealt with Locke's criticism on the theory of innate principles and his defense that knowledge is acquired in time by experience, and it will be examined philosopher's arguments on the subject.
