John Locke (1632-1704) was an empirical
dualist in epistemology and metaphysics.
He was an analytical thinker and his main
interest was in illuminating knowledge,
examining its validity pro and con. The
metaphysical factors of mind were of less
account as a problem to him. Locke's
teaching, like Plato, Aristotle, and
Descartes, has extended over the years.
His philosophy represents the spirit of
criticism, independence of though,
individualism, and the thinking of
democracy.
