thanks, I just started reading Locke's Essay on Understanding, and all he talks about for whole chapters is these assumptions about innate ideas, without mentioning who were the champions of this innate ideas idea, the idea he was trying to disprove.
whether things like language are innate, I think Locke would say, sure there are innate things like capacity to learn language, but that is not an example of an idea (although the idea we have about that capacity may be an idea, of course, but certainly that is not innate... the infant does not sit expecting to learn a language or pondering about it)
