JOHN LOCKE EPİSTEMOLOJİSİNDE BİLGİ VE İMAN
FAITH AND KNOWLEDGE IN LOCKE’S EPISTEMOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: This work explores the primary components of epistemology, its justification and epistemological relations from John Locke’s perspective. John Locke is widely known as one of the founders of the theory knowledge. One of the arguments to be proven in this work is though the main attribute (quality, characteristic) of knowledge is “certainty” based on experience and/or rational argumentation, the epistemological function of “faith” steps in at the point where the limit of the certain knowledge ends. In this regard, it is asserted that in the Lockean epistemology the relation of faith and knowledge can be established in a way called negative epistemology.
