In this chapter Locke discusses how ideas come about and how we as human beings think. He says that thinking is the first thing that occurs in our mind. Locke also discusses different things that we do in our minds such as dreaming sensations and perceptions and much more. He says that:
Sensations are the actual entrance of ideas through our sense. I do not really understand why sensations are entrance of ideas. he kind of confused me with this. But I think its kind of like when you see something that interest you he brings idea in your head??
Rememberance is when an idea recurs in your mind.
Recollection is an idea sought after by the mind and with pain and endeavour it is found. Isn't recollection the same as remembering something? I guess it is when you remember something painful that has happened to you.
Contemplation is an idea that is held in your mind under long attentive consideration. I agree with this because when you comtemplate something you are trying to understand it so you think about it for a while.
These terms are used to describe how our mind works. Locke believes that his purpose is to show what ideas are and how ideas come to the mind and he showed this through these times.
