Considered one of the first of the British empiricists following the tradition of Francis Bacon Locke is equally important to social contract theory. His work greatly affected the development of epistemology and political philosophy. His writings influenced Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau and many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers as well as the American Revolutionaries. His contributions to classical republicanism and liberal theory are reflected in the United States Declaration of Independence. Internationally Locke's political-legal principles continue to have a profound influence on the theory and practice of limited representative government and the protection of basic rights and freedoms under the rule of law. Locke's philosophy of mind is often cited as the origin of modern conceptions of personal identity and the psychology of self figuring prominently in the work of later philosophers such as Rousseau David Hume and Immanuel Kant. He postulated that at birth the mind was a blank slate or <em>tabula rasa</em>. Contrary to Cartesian philosophy based on pre-existing concepts he maintained that we are born without innate ideas and that knowledge is instead determined only by experience derived from sense perception a concept now known as empiricism. Locke is often credited for describing private property as a natural right arguing that when a person—metaphorically—mixes their labour with nature resources can be removed from the common state of nature.</p> J Nicholson. hardcover
