Yet because of his friendship with a Protestant Reformer, he was accused of complicity against the government, causing him to flee England for Holland. After the death of James I, he was able to return to England, where he ultimately retired at the dwelling home of the Oates family. His philosophical works recalled the doctrine of Epicurus and rejected Descartes's theory of innate ideas: Locke saw the newborn mind as a tabla rasa or "blank state", growing in knowledge only through sense perception and reflection. |
