John Locke FRS fue un filósofo y médico inglés considerado como uno de los más influyentes pensadores del Siglo de las Luces y conocido como el «Padre del Liberalismo Clásico». Considerado como uno de los primeros empiristas británicos, siguió las ideas de Francis Bacon y también tuvo una participación fundamental en la teoría del contrato social. Su trabajo afectó en gran medida el desarrollo de la epistemología y la filosofía política. Sus escritos influyeron en Voltaire y Rousseau, muchos pensadores de la Ilustración escocesa, así como los revolucionarios estadounidenses. Sus contribuciones al republicanismo clásico y la teoría liberal se reflejan en la Declaración de Independencia de los Estados Unidos.

La teoría de la mente de Locke es frecuentemente citada como el origen de las concepciones modernas de la identidad y del yo, que figuran prominentemente en las obras de filósofos posteriores como Hume, Rousseau y Kant. Locke fue el primero en definir el yo como una continuidad de la conciencia. Postuló que, al nacer, la mente era una pizarra o tabula rasa en blanco. Al contrario de la filosofía cartesiana —basada en conceptos preexistentes—, sostuvo que nacemos sin ideas innatas, y que, en cambio, el conocimiento solamente se determina por la experiencia derivada de la percepción sensorial.

Frases célebres de John Locke

“Donde no hay ley no hay libertad. Pues la libertad ha de ser el estar libre de las restricciones y la violencia de otros, lo cual no puede existir si no hay ley; y no es, como se nos dice, ‘una libertad para que todo hombre haga lo que quiera’. Pues ¿quién pudiera estar libre al estar dominado por los caprichos de todos los demás?”.”

John Locke

“Prejuzgar las nociones de otros hombres antes de haberlas examinado no es mostrar su oscuridad, sino sacar nuestros propios ojos.”

John Locke
De hombres

“Si alguien considera que su idea compleja de justicia es un cierto tratamiento de su persona o de los bienes de otro de acuerdo con la ley, y no tiene una idea clara y distinta de lo que sea la ley, la cual forma parte de su idea compleja de justicia, es evidente que su misma idea de justicia será confusa e imperfecta. Esta exactitud se juzgará, quizá, como algo muy molesto y, por tanto, la mayor parte de los hombres pensarán que se les puede excusar de fijar en sus mentes de un modo tan preciso las ideas complejas de los modos mixtos. Sin embargo, debo decir que hasta que no se haga, no debe extrañar que tengan gran oscuridad y confusión en sus propias mentes, y gran número de disputas en sus conversaciones con los demás.”

John Locke: Frases en inglés

“A young man before he leaves the shelter of his father's house, and the guard of a tutor, should be fortify'd with resolution, and made acquainted with men, to secure his virtues, lest he should be led into some ruinous course, or fatal precipice, before he is sufficiently acquainted with the dangers of conversation, and his steadiness enough not to yield to every temptation.”

“For wherever violence is used, and injury done, though by hands appointed to administer Justice, it is still violence and injury, however colour'd with the Name, Pretences, or Forms of Law, the end whereof being to protect and redress the innocent, by an unbiassed application of it, to all who are under it; wherever that is not bona fide done, War is made upon the Sufferers, who having no appeal on Earth to right them, they are left to the only remedy in such Cases, an appeal to Heaven.”

“Covetousness, and the desire of having in our possession, and under our dominion, more than we have need of, being the root of all evil, should be early and carefully weeded out, and the contrary quality of a readiness to impart to others, implanted. This should be encourag'd by great commendation and credit, and constantly taking care that he loses nothing by his liberality.”

Some Thoughts Concerning Education (1693)

“Let me give two cautions. 1) The one is, that you keep them to the practice of what you would have grow into a habit with them, by kind words, and gentle admonitions, rather as minding them of what they forget, than by harsh rebukes and chiding, as if they were wilfully guilty. 2) Another thing you are to take care of, is, not to endeavour to settle too many habits at once, lest by variety you confound them, and so perfect none. When constant custom has made any one thing easy and natural to 'em, and they practice it without reflection, you may then go on to another.”

“Let him sensibly perceive, that the kindness he shews to others, is no ill husbandry for himself; but that it brings a return in kindness both from those that receive it, and those who look on. Make this a contest among children, who shall out-do one another in this way: and by this means, by a constant practise, children having made it easy to themselves to part with what they have, good nature may be settled in them into a habit, and they may take pleasure, and pique themselves in being kind, liberal and civil, to others.”

“Encourage therefore his inquisitiveness all you can, by satisfying his demands, and informing his judgement, as far as it is capable. When his reasons are any way tolerable, let him find the credit and commendation of it, without being laugh'd at for his mistake be gently put into the right; and if he shew a forwardness to be reasoning about things that come in his way, take care, as much as you can, that no body check this inclination in him, or mislead it by captious or fallacious ways of talking with him. For when all is done, this is the highest and most important faculty of our minds, deserves the greatest care and attention in cultivating it: the right improvement, and exercise of our reason being the highest perfection that a man can attain to in his life.”

“He [Jesus] not only forbids actual uncleanness, but all irregular desires, upon pain of hell-fire; causeless divorces; swearing in conversation, as well as forswearing in judgment; revenge; retaliation; ostentation of charity, of devotion, and of fasting; repetitions in prayer, covetousness, worldly care, censoriousness: and on the other side commands loving our enemies, doing good to those that hate us, blessing those that curse us, praying for those that despitefully use us; patience and meekness under injuries, forgiveness, liberality, compassion: and closes all; his particular injunctions, with this general golden rule, Matt. VII. 12, "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets." And to show how much He is in earnest, and expects obedience to these laws, He tells them, Luke VI. 35, That if they obey, " great shall be their reward."”

“The law of faith, being a covenant of free grace, God alone can appoint what shall be necessarily believed by everyone whom He will justify. What is the faith which He will accept and account for righteousness, depends wholly on his good pleasure. For it is of grace, and not of right, that this faith is accepted. And therefore He alone can set the measures of it: and what he has so appointed and declared is alone necessary. No-body can add to these fundamental articles of faith; nor make any other necessary, but what God himself hath made, and declared to be so. And what these are which God requires of those who will enter into, and receive the benefits of the new covenant, has already been shown. An explicit belief of these is absolutely required of all those to whom the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached, and salvation through his name proposed.”
