Aristotle
- Things have both matter and form. Forms exist only in our world.
- Believed in inductive thinking
- Believed in experience, reasoned to form abstract ideas

David Hume
- Two experiments: quarter and billiard ball
- Quarter > you observe sense impressions of quarter
- Billiard Ball > no cause or effect
- Knowledge comes with experience > from own perceptions
- Two kinds of perceptions: impressions and ideas
- Perceptions can either be simple or complex
- Sensations > impressions > ideas  
- Relations of Ideas and Matter of Fact 
- "Necessity is something that exists in the mind, not in the objects."

John Locke
- Sense experience > sensation > impression > reflection > Ideas (simple or complex)
- Blank slate (Tabula Rasa)
- Primary qualities : facts, certainty
- Secondary qualities: Subjective, personal, not true knowledge
- Critics: knowledge cannot be derived from senses (what about God, dreams?)

Facts:
-Dualist
-Uses deduction
Quotes:
