Dive into John Lockes profound exploration of human understanding, where he tackles the intriguing question What gives rise to ideas in our minds?

The second book delves deeper into the mechanisms of sensation, reflection, perception, and retention, unveiling how these elements contribute to the formation of simple ideas.
