In the book of Bertrand Russel‚ the problems of philosophy‚ he is questioning if there is a knowledge that we are really sure about. He is questioning if what we see is really the reality.

John Locke and Thomas Hobbes were two important philosophers from the seventeenth century. The two were born nearly 50 years apart – Hobbes in 1588 and Locke in 1632 – and yet‚ they each managed to have a major impact on their time and our own.
