Ancient British philosophers

Ancient British philosophers occupy an important position in the history of philosophy, with some key figures such as Thomas Aquinas, though not British, exerting a profound influence on British philosophy. John Locke, the founder of empiricism, proposed the tabula rasa theory, emphasizing the empirical sources of knowledge. David Hume, a representative of agnosticism, questioned the necessity of the causal law. Jeremy Bentham founded utilitarianism, advocating the principle of greatest happiness as the foundation for morality and legislation. The contributions of these thinkers collectively advanced the development of British and broader Western philosophy.
