John Locke
![Portrait of Locke, 1697](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/John_Locke.jpg)
Locke's theory of mind is often cited as the origin of modern conceptions of ''identity'' and the ''self'', figuring prominently in the work of later philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant.
He postulated that, at birth, the mind was a blank slate, or ''tabula rasa''. Contrary to Cartesian philosophy based on pre-existing concepts, he maintained that we are born without innate ideas, and that knowledge is instead determined only by experience derived from sense perception, a concept now known as ''empiricism''.
Locke is often credited for describing private property as a Natural Law principle arguing that when a person mixes their labor with nature, the labor enters the object conferring individual ownership. Provided by Wikipedia
