john Locke's theory of knowledge is that we are born without knowledge. "We are blank slats at birth." We only know things exist if we experience them ourselves. Knowledge is mental habits. Perception of an agreement or disagreement of two ideas. Four sorts: identity or diversity, relation, co-existence and real existence. Two models: argument and experiance. Three kinds: intuitive, demonstrative and sensitive. This is all that I could find on John Locke's Theory of knowledge, so if this isn't enough and you need more looking in a book about him is my best bet to find more about him and his theories.
