| | John Locke |
 | | Locke’s interest in philosophy was stimulated by reading Descartes, an event which was to be of central importance to him, for it was Descartes’s clear and powerful system which stimulated within him a highly constructive reaction which was finally to emerge nearly thirty years later as his mature philosophical position. | | | Locke’s remaining years were spent in public service when his health allowed, in revising and adding to his publications and in replying to his critics, of whom the most important was Edward Stillingfleet, Bishop of Worcester. | | | Locke’s influence was not confined to his major work. |

| | Locke relates to Sawyer that as a child, he and his sister were raised by a foster mother. | | | Other survivors are wary of Locke, due in part to his mysterious comings and goings, as well as his collection of hunting knives, which he had transported with him intending to use them on a walkabout of the Australian Outback. | | | Also, the TV Locke's father is named Anthony Cooper, named for Lord Anthony Ashley-Cooper, the real-world John Locke's political mentor and patron. |

| | John Locke -- Overview [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Locke's religious interest had always been strongly marked, and, in he later years of his life, much of his tie was given to theology. | | | With the exception of the abstract of the Essay and other less important contributions to the Bibliotheque universelle, Locke had not published anything before his return to England in 1689; and by this time he was in his fifty-seventh year. | | | Locke's theological writings exhibit the characteristic qualities which his other works have rendered familiar. |

| | Political Philosophy of John Locke [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Locke is rightly famous for his Treatises, yet during his life he repudiated his authorship, although he subtly recommended them as essential reading in letters and thoughts on reading for gentlemen. | | | This political and social context is vital to be aware of, for the tensions and violence of the era permeate the atmosphere in which Locke matured and wrote his political writings. | | | From 1675-79, an unwell Locke travelled to France, returning to London in 1679-81 with his master to enjoy the heat of the Exclusion Crisis in which Shaftesbury and his supporters sought a Parliamentary Act to exclude James from taking the throne. |

| | As Alexander Fraser has pointed out, "The art of education, political thought, theology and philosophy, especially in Britain, France, and America, long bore the stamp of the Essay, or of reaction against it, to an extent that is not explained by the comprehensiveness of Locke's thought, or by the force of his genius" (xi). | | | Locke's thinking is impressive, but not sufficiently so to account for his pervasiveness as an influence. | | | Literally volumes have been written on Locke's work, so rather than discuss the internal aspects of his Essay I will focus instead on its importance to other thinkers of the next 150 years. |
