The Latin translation of his philosophical novel, entitled Philosophus Autodidactus, published by Edward Pococke the Younger in 1671, had an influence on John Locke's formulation of tabula rasa in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.

Shaftesbury, as a founder of the Whig movement, exerted great influence on Locke's political ideas.

However, the theory has been traced back to Treatise of Taxes, written in 1662 by Sir William Petty and to John Locke's notion, set out in the Second Treatise on Government ( 1689 ), that property derives from labor through the act of " mixing " one's labor with items in the common store of goods, though this has alternatively been seen as a labor theory of property.

This represented a break with the past, in that previously it was believed that external and absolute reality could impress itself, as it was, on an individual, as, for example, in John Locke's ( 1632 – 1704 ) empiricism, which saw the mind beginning as a tabula rasa ( An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, 1690 ).

Pipes has written that Locke's work " marked a regression because it rested on the concept of Natural Law " rather than upon Harrington's sociological framework.

Anarchy, State and Utopia claims a heritage from John Locke's Second Treatise on Government and seeks to ground itself upon a natural law doctrine, but reaches some importantly different conclusions from Locke himself in several ways.

It is, however, a most important modification of Locke's doctrine, and connects Hutcheson's mental philosophy with that of Reid, when he states that the ideas of extension, figure, motion and rest " are more properly ideas accompanying the sensations of sight and touch than the sensations of either of these senses "; that the idea of self accompanies every thought, and that the ideas of number, duration and existence accompany every other idea whatsoever ( see Essay on the Nature and Conduct of the Passions, sect.

After having formulated a stricter version of Locke's epistemological rationalism, Toland then goes on to show that there are no facts or doctrines from the Bible which are not perfectly plain, intelligible and reasonable, being neither contrary to reason nor incomprehensible to it.

Subscribing to Locke's empiricist viewpoint involving the tabula rasa, Herbart believed that the soul had no innate ideas or no already pre-established Kantian categories of thought.

One of Locke's fundamental arguments against innate ideas is the very fact that there is no truth to which all people attest.

The revolt of New World British colonists in North America, during the mid-1770s, has been seen as the first assertion of the right of national and democratic self-determination, because of the explicit invocation of natural law, the natural rights of man, as well as the consent of, and sovereignty by, the people governed ; these ideas were inspired particularly by John Locke's enlightened writings of the previous century.

" He had Locke's and Condiallac's theory that we are born with empty heads and that our ideas arise from what we perceive and experience.

An intense interest in spiritualism, parapsychology, and hypnosis continued throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, running in parallel with John Locke's views that there was an association of ideas requiring the coexistence of feelings with awareness of the feelings.

Hypnosis, which was pioneered in the late 18th century by Franz Mesmer and Armand-Marie Jacques de Chastenet, Marques de Puységur, challenged Locke's association of ideas.

Locke's phrase " association of ideas " is employed throughout, " idea " being taken as including every mental state but sensation.

He accepts with some indecision Locke's deduction of our knowledge from two sources, sensation and reflection, and uses as his main principle of explanation the association of ideas.

Specifically, John Locke as part of his argument against the " Divine Right of Kings " in his book Two Treatises of Government defines it this way: “ Tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to ; and this is making use of the power any one has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private, separate advantage .” Locke's concept of tyranny influenced the writers of subsequent generations who developed the concept of tyranny as counterpoint to ideas of human rights and democracy.

Locke's ideas did not go unchallenged and the periodical The Rehearsal, for example, launched a " sustained and sophisticated assault ” against the Two Treatises and endorsed the ideology of patriarchalism.

Book II sets out Locke's theory of ideas, including his distinction between passively acquired simple ideas, such as " red ," " sweet ," " round ," etc., and actively built complex ideas, such as numbers, causes and effects, abstract ideas, ideas of substances, identity, and diversity.

All the main outlines of Locke's philosophy seem, at first sight, to be accepted as a matter of course.

John Locke's chapter XXVII " On Identity and Diversity " in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding ( 1689 ) has been said to be one of the first modern conceptualizations of consciousness as the repeated self-identification of oneself, through which moral responsibility could be attributed to the subject — and therefore punishment and guiltiness justified, as critics such as Nietzsche would point out, affirming "... the psychology of conscience is not ' the voice of God in man '; it is the instinct of cruelty ... expressed, for the first time, as one of the oldest and most indispensable elements in the foundation of culture.

This translation left out Locke's " Preface ," all of the First Treatise, and the first chapter of the Second Treatise ( which summarised Locke's conclusions in the First Treatise ).
