"John Locke, born on August 29, 1632, in Wrington, Somerset, England, went to Westminster school and then Christ Church, University of Oxford. At Oxford he studied medicine, which would play a central role in his life. He became a highly influential philosopher, writing about such topics as political philosophy, epistemology, and education. Locke's writings helped found modern Western philosophy."

 Locke composed "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding," another ground breaking work of intellectual might that spanned four books and took on the task of examining the nature of human knowledge.

the Essay was published after Locke's return to England in 1688. His arrival back in his homeland had come in the aftermath of the dramatic departure of King James II, who'd fled the country, allowing the Whigs to rise to power.

He became a hero to the Whig party, Locke remained connected to governmental affairs in his advanced years. He helped steer the resurrection of the Board of Trade, which oversaw England's new territories in North America.

Locke died on October 28, 1704, in Essex, where he'd resided over the last decade of his life.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, known as one of the most influential thinkers during the 18th-century European Enlightenment period, was born on June 28, 1712, in Geneva, Switzerland.

He discussed how science and arts had caused the corruption of virtue and morality. Rousseau was also a composer and music theorist.His first major philosophical work, A Discourse on the Sciences and Arts. In this work, Rousseau argues that the progression of the sciences and arts has caused the corruption of virtue and morality.
“I am not abusing science…I am defending virtue before virtuous men.” (First Discourse, Vol. I, p. 4).
The central claim of the work is that human beings are basically good by nature, but were corrupted by the complex historical events that resulted in present day civil society.]]> 2017-08-22 16:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/a01284396/7j4a9fd5pjku/wish/182138209 Adam Smith vanesssanb https://padlet.com/a01284396/7j4a9fd5pjku/wish/182139222 He was a philosopher and economist  a scottish economist, philosopher, and author.  Was born on July 6, 1723, in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.

His father was the disgraced vicar of a local parish, and in the wake of the precipitating scandal (caused by brawling in front of his own church) he disappeared, abandoning his three children to the care of his brother. This uncle of Hobbes', a tradesman and alderman, provided for Hobbes' education. Already an excellent student of classical languages, at age 14 Hobbes went to Magdalen Hall in Oxford to study. He then left Oxford in 1608 and became the private tutor for William Cavendish, the eldest son of Lord Cavendish of Hardwick (later known as the first Earl of Devonshire). In 1610, Hobbes traveled with William to France, Italy and Germany, where he met other leading scholars of the day, such as Francis Bacon and Ben Jonson.

Hobbes' pupil died in 1628, and Hobbes was left searching for a new one (always finding himself working for various wealthy and aristocratic families, Hobbes later worked for the Marquess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, a cousin of William Cavendish, and the marquess's brother, Sir Charles Cavendish). In 1631, while again tutoring a young Cavendish, Hobbes' philosophy began to take form, and his Short Tract on First Principlesappeared."

"Thomas Hobbes invented the modern ego – the ego that thinks it exists quite on its own.

He did this by declaring, in his Leviathan, that the natural state of human life was one of ceaseless "war of all against all". Human beings, he said, were naturally pure, relentless egoists who could only be brought to live in harmony by their fear of the threatening power of government. Without that threat, their life would be just a zero-sum game - "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short"."
