Knowledge

Locke speaks about how "rational knowledge is the perception of the certain agreement or disagreement of any two ideas by the intervention of one or more other ideas." He continues with how judgement is the taking of those ideas and then make them frequent, which i thought was interesting because these ideas that are considered judgement from which can have consequences when turned into words to other people. What I think he is trying to say or what i understand from it is that people have judgement, but those ideas don't always have to be spoken, and when they are will always have some sort of consequence.

What a very complicated sentence? "Rational knowledge is the perception of a certain agreement or disagreement of any two ideas by the intervention of one or more other ideas." I think this is true because you do need to reach a certain agreement on something and with your basic knowledge of the world, try to reach a rational decision. He is trying to talk about commom knowledge, but i disagree with common knowledge because they are certain people who
have never heard of some knowledge that is considered common knowledge.
