| Summary | "Locke" by Thomas Fowler is a philosophical biography written in the late 19th century. It chronicles the life of John Locke, a prominent English philosopher known for his influential ideas on empiricism, political philosophy, and religious toleration. The text is set to explore Locke's early life, his development of philosophical ideas, and the impact of his relationships and political experiences on his intellectual trajectory. The opening of the work introduces John Locke, detailing his early life in Wrington, England, and his upbringing in a politically active family. With context provided by the English Civil Wars, the narrative sets the stage for Locke's formative years, which were influenced by his father's legal career and the tumultuous socio-political landscape of the time. While Locke's schooling at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford is also highlighted, it emphasizes his discontent with aspects of the educational system and foreshadows the philosophical inquiries that would shape his later work. This early context is essential in understanding Locke's evolving views on knowledge, government, and society, themes that are likely to be developed in the subsequent chapters.
