This biography of the philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) was
published in the first series of English Men of Letters in 1880.
Its author, Thomas Fowler (1832-1904) held the posts of Wykeham
Professor of Logic, President of Corpus Christi College, and
Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University; the editor of the series,
John Morley, had been his pupil. The influence of Locke is
pervasive in many fields - theology, education, psychology,
economics and political theory as well as philosophy - and Fowler
analyses the effect of his writings in five chapters (one dedicated
to the Essay Concerning Human Understanding) as well as giving a
chronological account of Locke's life from his obscure beginnings
through his time at Oxford, his role in the household of the earl
of Shaftesbury, and his two periods of travel in Europe, to a
position at the heart of political and intellectual life in
Restoration England.
