John Locke's theory of knowledge, particularly his ideas on primary and secondary qualities, suggests that our perceptions (images/ideas) partially resemble the qualities of objects in the external world. Primary qualities, such as shape and motion, are thought to resemble their causes in the external world, while secondary qualities, like color and taste, do not directly resemble anything in the objects themselves but are produced by the interaction of primary qualities with our senses.
