Locke's two most important works, Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Two Treatises on Civil Government ( .txt-only version of Second Treatise ), both published in 1690, quickly established him as the leading philosopher of freedom. In the Essay he opposed the rationalist belief in innate ideas, holding that the mind is born a blank upon which all knowledge is inscribed in the form of human experience. He distinguished the primary qualities of things (e.g., extension, solidity, number) from the secondary qualities (e.g., color, smell, sound), which he held to be produced by the direct impact of the world on the sense organs. The primary qualities affect the sense organs mechanically, providing ideas that faithfully reflect reality; thus science is possible. Later empiricists such as Hume and George Berkeley based their systems largely on Locke's theory of knowledge. In political theory he was equally influential. Contradicting Hobbes , Locke maintained that the original state of nature was happy and characterized by reason and tolerance; all human beings were equal and free to pursue "life, health, liberty, and possessions." The state formed by the

John Locke An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Concerning Civil Government, Second Essay A Letter Concerning Toleration John Locke, born on Aug. 29, 1632, in Somerset, England, was an English philosopher and political theorist. Locke was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he followed the traditional classical curriculum and then turned to the study of medicine and science, receiving a medical degree, but his interest in philosophy was reawakened by the study of Descartes . He then joined the household of Anthony Ashley Cooper, later the earl of Shaftesbury, as a personal physician at first, becoming a close friend and advisor. Shaftesbury secured for Locke a series of minor government appointments. In 1669, in one of his official capacities, Locke wrote a constitution for the proprietors of the Carolina Colony in North America, but it was never put into effect. In 1671 Locke began to write his greatest work, the Essay Concerning Human Understanding , which took nearly twenty years to complete since he was deeply engaged in Shaftesbury's political affairs. In 1675, after the liberal Shaftesbury had fallen from favor, Locke went to France. In 1679 he returned to England, but in view of his opposition to the Roman Catholicism favored by the English monarchy at that time, he soon found it expedient to return to the Continent. From 1683 to 1688 he lived in Holland, and following the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the restoration of Protestantism to favor, Locke returned once more to England. The new king, William III, appointed Locke to the Board of Trade in 1696, a position from which he resigned because of ill health in 1700. He died in Oates on October 28, 1704.

John Locke David Cody , Associate Professor of English, Hartwick College ohn Locke , the great English proponent of what John Stuart Mill would call "the analytic philosophy of mind," and the "father of English empiricism ," was born in 1632 at Wrinton in Somerset. The son of a Puritan attorney, he was educated by Puritans at Westminster and studied mathematics and medicine at Christ Church College at Oxford, still a bastion of Royalist sympathies. He held various academic posts there, and became physician and confidential adviser to the Whig first earl of Shaftesbury, in whose house he came to live in 1667. He held a number of official positions until he was expelled from England in 1684 for supposed complicity in Shaftesbury's plots. He then travelled in France and took up residence in Holland, where he came to the attention of the then Prince of Orange, who would shortly become William III. After William had assumed the throne of England Locke came back into favor, and became commisioner of appeals, an advisor on coinage, and a member of the council of trade.

Svenska John Locke From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. John Locke August 29 October 28 ) was an English Enlightenment philosopher whose notions of government with the consent of the governed and the natural rights of man ( life liberty , and property ) had an enormous influence on colonial Americans, allowing them to justify revolution and shape a new government. Locke was one of the " British Empiricists ", which also included David Hume and George Berkeley His most influential work was the two part treatise On Civil Government . The first part describes the current condition of the civil government, while the second describes Locke's justification for government and his ideals for its operation. He advocated that all men were equal and that each should be permitted to act as long as he harms no other. Using these foundations, he continued to make a classic justification for private property by declaring that the natural world is the common property of all men, but that any individual could appropriate some bit of it for himself by mixing his labor with the natural resources.

John Locke John Locke, 1632- , English philosopher, political theorist, and founder of Empiricism. After studying medicine at Oxford , Locke served the Earl of Shaftesbury as a physician, and followed him to France in 1675. There he spent four years studying Continental philosophy, especially that of Descartes. On his return, Locke worked with Shaftesbury to block the succession of James, Duke of York, later James II, from the throne a controversial issue since the Restoration of Charles II . They were unsuccessful, and both were forced to flee England: Locke lived in Holland from 1683 until James II's overthrow in 1689. In the following year appeared Locke's most important work, An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding . The central concern of the Essay is epistemology, the means by which we come to knowledge. Locke argued against the idea of "innate ideas," arguing instead that the mind is analogous to a blank slate, a tabula rasa , on which the senses make impressions: the importance of such experience in his philosophy is the origin of the term empirical Sensory experience, though, provides only one kind of idea, sensation;

John Locke, 1632-1704. Prominent empiricist philosopher, natural law social thinker and Whig political theorist, John Locke was nonetheless a rather traditional Mercantilist in his economics. It was Child's promotion of low interest that prompted Locke to turn his attention to money and developing a theory of money in his 1692 Considerations . Locke introduced concept of "money as convention" as well as, following Bodin , the main elements of the Quantity Theory of Money, notably the concept of "velocity". Locke saw that the lowering of interest by legal means might very well lead to a collapse in trade because it would not reflect the "natural scarcity" of money. If money collapsed, then there would be, alternatively, a collapse in output or prices. The collapse in prices would lead to relatively cheap English goods and relatively expensive foreign ones "both which will keep us poor" (Locke, 1692). Unlike Mun , Locke did not see this as a promoter of exports. Locke's ideas on value are a bit obtuse and inconsistent. In his 1690

John Locke Philosopher and Empiricist English Locke, a member of a middle-class Puritan family, left studies of the church to pursue the vociation of a physician. While at Oxford, he became friends with Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle. After leaving in 1683 over disagreements about the Catholic king, Charles II, he finished his Essay This four-book work discusses questions of awareness and reality; Locke believed that we can only think about non-mental entities by being aware of mental entities that represent them. In building this relationship, he wrote that we must control our belief-forming capabilities it is our duty to do so. In the spirit of Newton and Boyle, his method consists of first collecting data for and against the proposition (hypothesis) in questions. Second, that data is analyzed for relevance, and then the proposition is judged on that evidence. Locke's Second Treatise of Government a defining work in the soon-to emerge American government, was based on Locke's concept of natural law. Locke believed that just as with mathematics, the laws of nature could also be deduced through experimentation. The hinge of the work was the concept of private property. In Locke's "state of nature" (a through experiment depicting ancient man), an individual successfully convinced others that a particular plot of land was "his". He combined his labor with this object or plot, and thus it became property. This posession can only be freely contracted away to others, and most importantly, government. This is the "liberal theory of state" on which is based the Declaration of Independence, written about seventy years later.

Il pensiero occidentale Bompiani (data di pubblicazione prevista: Giugno 2004) Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1690, è il capolavoro lockiano. Si tratta della prima grande opera moderna sulle capacità, le funzioni e i limiti dell'intelletto umano e ha inaugurato il fecondo filone di ricerche filosofiche culminato nelle tre "Critiche" kantiane. Obiettivo principale è quello di definire i limiti entro i quali l'intelletto può e deve muoversi e oltre i quali non deve spingersi. Il "Saggio" è tradotto sulla base della quarta edizione del 1700, l'ultima curata personalmente da Locke.

FRtR Biographies John Locke A Biography of John Locke (1632-1704) Quote John Locke was born on August 29th, 1632 in England and lived to became one of the most influential people in England and, perhaps, one of the most influential people of the 17th century. Before his death on October 28th, 1704 he would earn the title as the Father of liberal philosophy. His ideas would also be used as a keystone for the revolution of the North American colonies from England. Early Years Locke had many prominent friends who were nobles in government and also highly respected scholars of the times. He was good friends with the Earl of Shaftesbury and he was given government jobs which he served with Shaftesbury. Locke lived in France for a while and returned to troubled times in England. In 1679 his friend the Earl was tried for treason. Although Shaftesbury was acquitted, the Earl decided to flee England anyway to escape further persecution. He fled to Holland where William and Mary ruled but had some claim to the English throne. Owing to his close association with the Earl, Locke also fled fled to Holland in 1683. He returned to England in about 1688 when William and Mary were invited to retake the reign of England in what historians call the Bloodless Revolution . Eventually Locke returned to Oates in Essex where he retired. He lived there until his death in 1704. Natural Rights Locke wrote and developed the philosophy that there was no legitimate government under the divine right of kings
