jan 1, 1689 - Locke Writes "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding"
Description:
John Locke is one of the most influential thinkers during the Enlightenment, and his beliefs directly contradict those of Thomas Hobbes, another large figure during the Enlightenment. While Hobbes believed that people were naturally evil, Locke argues that they're naturally a "blank slate," and that their upbringing and society influences whether they're good or bad.Added to timeline:
