KNOWLEDGE, LANGUAGE AND TRUTH ACCORDING TO JOHN LOCKE

Abstract

This text consists of the result of a theoretical research on the English philosopher John Locke (1632-1704), whose objective is to deal with three categories of his thought, namely: knowledge, language and truth. Thus, the question it proposes to answer is the following: What is the relationship between knowledge, language and truth, according to Lockean thought? The justification of the present investigation is based on the need to clarify the links between these categories within the scope of his philosophy. His main work on epistemology (Essay on Human Understanding) will be the theoretical reference for the construction of the argumentation present in this research work.
