John, Locke, is, a philosopher and educator, living and creating in 17th-century England, interacting in a specific historical context, which was reflected in the themes taken up in his main texts, which were, as it were, answers to the problems troubling society at the time. At the same time, the way they were approached testified to his going beyond the instrumentality that characterized his contemporaneity, heralded the use of new means and methods of describing reality, heralded the Enlightenment.
