book 2 chapter 1

In the first couple of paragraphs, Locke talks about our mind and how we perceive things and feel things. Our knowledge of knowing what is an elephant, sweetness, hardness, sensations as heat, cold, water, and so on is described in one word accroding to him, "experience".

We are able to think, feel, and observe things because of the experiences we go through. Ideas is the object of thinking and they come from sensation. AS long as we experience, our mind is able to think and have ideas.
