| Summary: | Locke’s philosophy of the perception – among many problems – also delivers an ambiguous comprehension of space. On the one hand the space is a simple idea that we come across through a mediation of more than one sense but on the other hand, the idea of space seems to be a result of mingling of certain “remote relations” which inhere to things, and so it is a complex idea. In my opinion, the question of the space clearly underlines that Locke’s initially founded realism is being enfeebled by his analysis of the process of perception and constructing the ideas. Therefore, Locke’s standpoint is barely a declarative realism, because perceptual content is given and presented in the subjective sphere only and there alone is constructed to the figure of things.
