John Locke was an English philosopher, and considered to be the founder of modern educational philosophy. Locke theorized the concept of tabula ruse, the belief that the child is born neutral, rather than evil, and a "clean slate" on which the experiences of parents, society, education, and the world are written. He based his theory on the scientific method and approached a child as a doctor would examine a patient.
