Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The philosopher John Locke was the one who considered that all our knowledge comes from experience, from it is derived and reduced. In addition, he affirmed that when we are born, our mind is a blackboard or a blank sheet of paper on which the experience is written. He argued that there is no empirical evidence capable of demonstrating that the mind of a newborn is not completely blank.
