Some might ask "Why Locke's theory of knowledge now?" Though
appreciated for his social philosophy, Locke has been criticized
for his work in the field of epistemology ever since the
publication of the Essay. It is even as if Locke serves only as an
example of how not to think. When people criticize Locke, they
usually cite the hostile commen taries of Berkeley, Kant, Husserl,
or Sellars. But, one might ask, are they not all so eager to show
the excellence of their own epistemo logical views that they
distort and underestimate Locke's thought? Russell aptly noted in
his History of Western Philosophy that: No one has yet succeeded in
inventing a philosophy at once credible and self-consis tent. Locke
aimed at credibility, and achieved it at the expense of
consistency. Most of the great philosophers have done the opposite.
A philosophy which is not self-consis tent cannot be wholly true,
but a philosophy which is self-consistent can very well be wholly
false. The most fruitful philosophies have contained glaring
inconsistencies, but for that very reason have been partially true.
There is no reason to suppose that a self consistent system
contains more truth than one which, like Locke's, is obviously more
or less wrong. (B. Russell, A History of Western Philosophy New
York: Simon and Schuster, 1945], p. 613. ) Here Russell is
uncommonly charitable with Locke."
