Thesis Statement:

In this essay, I evaluate the philosophical puzzle: If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? In my evaluation, I explain that this question raises the epistemological problem of how a subjective experience, such as sound, relates to what can be known of reality.

Lastly, I will explain how the empiricist, John Locke, would evaluate and answer the puzzle.
