John Locke (1632-1704) war ein einflussreicher englischer Philosoph und Vordenker der Aufkl rung. In seinem aus vier B chern bestehenden Hauptwerk Ein Versuch ber den menschlichen Verstand untersuchte Locke den Ursprung, die Gewissheit und den Umfang menschlichen Wissens in Abgrenzung zu Glauben, Meinen und Vermuten. Ausgangspunkt war einerseits Lockes scholastische Ausbildung in Oxford auf Basis des in England vorherrschenden Nominalismus. Andererseits hatte er sich in seinem vierj hrigen Frankreichaufenthalt intensiv mit Descartes und dessen Vorstellung eingeborener Ideen auseinandergesetzt. Entsprechend untersuchte Locke im ersten Buch zun chst den Ursprung der Ideen und entwickelte eine Vielzahl pragmatischer Argumente zur Ablehnung eingeborener Ideen. Seine Grundthese lautete: Nihil est in intellectu quod non (prius) fuerit in sensibus (Nichts ist im Verstand, was nicht vorher in den Sinnen gewesen w re). Das zweite Buch befasst sich mit dem Zusammenhang der Ideen mit der Erfahrung. Das menschliche Bewusstsein ist bei der Geburt eine tabula rasa, auf das die Erfahrung erst schreibt. Ausgangspunkt der Erkenntnis ist die sinnliche Wahrnehmung. Allerdings war Locke kein Sensualist. Er unterschied u ere Wahrnehmungen (sensations) und innere Wahrnehmungen (reflections). Der n chste Schritt ist im dritten Buch die Untersuchung der Rolle der Sprache, ihres Zusammenhangs mit den Ideen und ihre Bedeutung f r das Wissen. Buch vier handelt schlie lich von den komplexen (zusammengefassten) Ideen, von den Grenzen des Wissens und dem Verh ltnis von Begr ndung und Glauben. Locke kritisiert den ausschlie lichen Ansatz des Ex praecognitis et praeconcessis.

In the Second Treatise, Locke claims that civil society was created for the protection of property. In saying this, he relies on the etymological root of "property," Latin proprius, or what is one's own, including oneself (cf. French propre). Thus, by "property" he means "life, liberty, and estate."

An Essay Concerning Human Understanding is a work by John Locke concerning the foundation of human knowledge and understanding. It first appeared in 1689 (although dated 1690) with the printed title An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding. He describes the mind at birth as a blank slate (tabula rasa, although he did not use those actual words) filled later through experience. The essay was one of the principal sources of empiricism in modern philosophy, and influenced many enlightenment philosophers, such as David Hume and George Berkeley.

Henry Morley (15 September 1822 - 1894) was an English academic who was one of the earliest professors of English literature in Great Britain. Morley wrote a popular book containing biographies of famous English writers....... John Locke FRS ( 29 August 1632 - 28 October 1704) was an English philosopher and physician, widely regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers and commonly known as the "Father of Liberalism". Considered one of the first of the British empiricists, following the tradition of Sir Francis Bacon, he is equally important to social contract theory. His work greatly affected the development of epistemology and political philosophy. His writings influenced Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers, as well as the American revolutionaries. His contributions to classical republicanism and liberal theory are reflected in the United States Declaration of Independence. Locke's theory of mind is often cited as the origin of modern conceptions of identity and the self, figuring prominently in the work of later philosophers such as David Hume, Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant. Locke was the first to define the self through a continuity of consciousness. He postulated that, at birth, the mind was a blank slate or tabula rasa. Contrary to Cartesian philosophy based on pre-existing concepts, he maintained that we are born without innate ideas, and that knowledge is instead determined only by experience derived from sense perception. 5] This is now known as empiricism. An example of Locke's belief in empiricism can be seen in his quote, "whatever I write, as soon as I discover it not to be true, my hand shall be the forwardest to throw it into the fire." This shows the ideology of science in his observations in that something must be capable of being tested repeatedly and that nothing is exempt from being disproven. Challenging the wor Life and work: Locke's father, also called John, was a country lawyer and clerk to the Justices of the Peace in Chew Magna, who had served as a captain of cavalry for the Parliamentarian forces during the early part of the English Civil War. His mother was Agnes Keene. Both parents were Puritans. Locke was born on 29 August 1632, in a small thatched cottage by the church in Wrington, Somerset, about 12 miles from Bristol. He was baptised the same day. Soon after Locke's birth, the family moved to the market town of Pensford, about seven miles south of Bristol, where Locke grew up in a rural Tudor house in Belluton. In 1647, Locke was sent to the prestigious Westminster School in London under the sponsorship of Alexander Popham, a member of Parliament and his father's former commander. After completing studies there, he was admitted to Christ Church, Oxford, in the autumn of 1652 at the age of twenty. The dean of the college at the time was John Owen, vice-chancellor of the university. Although a capable student, Locke was irritated by the undergraduate curriculum of the time. He found the works of modern philosophers, such as Ren Descartes, more interesting than the classical material taught at the university. Through his friend Richard Lower, whom he knew from the Westminster School, Locke was introduced to medicine and the experimental philosophy being pursued at other universities and in the Royal Society, of which he eventually became a member. Locke was awarded a bachelor's degree in February 1656 and a master's degree in June 1658.... Filmer Robert, (Sir) (1588-1653)...........
