JOHN LOCKE
What contributions did John Locke make to epistemology?
In epistemology (the philosophical theory of knowledge), John Locke argued against the existence of innate ideas
(ideas present in the mind naturally or at birth) by showing how all except “trifling” human ideas may be derived
from sensation or reflection (observation of the operations of the mind) and how knowledge may be defined in
terms of the perception of agreement or connections between ideas.
Herbert Spencer
(born April 27, 1820, Derby, Derbyshire, England—died December 8,
1903, Brighton, Sussex), English sociologist and philosopher, an early
advocate of the theory of evolution.
His magnum opus was The Synthetic Philosophy (1896), a comprehensive
work containing volumes on the principles of biology, psychology,
morality, and sociology.
He is best remembered for his doctrine of social Darwinism, according to
which the principles of evolution,
which asserted that the principles of evolution, including natural selection,
apply to human societies, social classes, and individuals as well as to
biological species developing over geologic time. He is also remembered
for introducing the term survival of the fittest.
Sir Flinders Petrie
Sir Flinders Petrie, in full Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie, (born June
3, 1853, Charlton, near Greenwich, London, England—died July 28, 1942,
Jerusalem), British archaeologist and Egyptologist.
At the age of 24, Petrie wrote Inductive Metrology; or, The Recovery of
Ancient Measures from the Monuments, a work that represented a new
approach to archaeological study.
Fieldwork done at various locations in Britain, including Stonehenge,
enabled him to determine by mathematical computations the unit of
measurement for the construction of the monument. His Stonehenge: Plans,
Description, and Theories was published in 1880, and in that same year he
began the surveys and excavation of the Great Pyramid at Giza, which
initiated his four decades of exploration in the Middle East.
