John Locke’s “Essay on Human
Understanding” Book II
[ send
me THIS paper ]
This 5 page report discusses English philosopher, John
Locke (1632-1704) and his focus on the division of human
ideas in sub-categories related to substances, modes, and
relations. Almost the entire core of the intellectual
activity of the eighteenth century in England leads back
to Locke. Locke was able to succinctly describe and honor
the Enlightenment in his belief in the middle class and
its right to freedom of conscience and right to property,
in his faith in science, and in his confidence in the
goodness of humanity. Locke was convinced that in order
for a liberal, tolerant, regime to survive, it had to be
intolerant of those who were neither liberal nor tolerant.
His influence upon philosophy and political theory has
been incalculable. No secondary sources.
