LOCKE, John.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The Works. Third edition of Locke's collected works, following those of 1714 and 1722."John Locke is the most influential philosopher of modern times... His influence in the history of thought, on the way we think about ourselves and our relations to the world we live in, to God, nature and society, has been immense. His great message was to set us free from the burden of tradition and authority, both in theology and knowledge, by showing that the entire grounds of our right conduct in the world can be secured by the experience we may gain by the innate faculties and powers we are born with" (Chappell, p. 252).
