I think... Empiricism. Spinoza and Leibniz were great philosophers and all their efforts lay in their way they understood knowledge. By they are far from being simple. You are not going to find innate ideas in your mind. You find faculties, but not ideas, like "two" or "angle". Empircism search his elements where you can find them, in experience. I like Hume view and Berkeley, those guys lead the way to science, to neorology, today we don´t find any new attemps to discover the nature of knowledge outside science. Deduction and facts, one without the other mislead.
Faith... is the word for our ignorance. It sounds cruel, I know, but is true. The main trouble is Skepticism, I love Hume and Montaigne, but I prefer take the risk to know what knowledge is.

The reality of knowledge is that it cannot exist apart from ignorance!
