Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
John Locke, English philosopher
John Locke. Caricature of the English philosopher John Locke (1632-1704). Locke is considered the first of the British empiricists, but is equally important to social contract theory. He spent his early years lecturing at Oxford University, England. He later spent fifteen years in France, where he met most of the leading continental scientists and thinkers. Locke was the first philosopher to define the self through a continuity of consciousness. He also suggested that a persons mind was a tabula rasa (blank slate) at birth, on which knowledge was imprinted by experience derived through sense perception

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a caricature of the renowned English philosopher, John Locke. Known as the pioneer of British empiricism and a significant contributor to social contract theory, Locke's intellectual impact reverberates through history. The image depicts him against a clean white background, exuding an air of historical significance. Locke's academic journey began with lecturing at Oxford University before embarking on a transformative fifteen-year sojourn in France. During his time there, he had the privilege of engaging with prominent continental scientists and thinkers, solidifying his position as one of the most influential minds of his era. One groundbreaking concept attributed to Locke is his definition of self through continuity of consciousness. He also proposed that every individual's mind starts as a tabula rasa or blank slate at birth, upon which knowledge is imprinted through sensory experiences—an idea that revolutionized philosophical discourse. The monochromatic illustration captures both the essence and humor inherent in this portrayal. It highlights Locke's identity as an adult Caucasian male while emphasizing his role as a philosopher shaping Enlightenment thought. This artwork serves not only as an artistic pastiche but also invites contemplation on subjects such as political philosophy, epistemology, liberal theory, and Western philosophy itself. In summary, this remarkable print immortalizes John Locke—a figure whose ideas continue to shape our understanding—reminding us of the profound influence he has had on human thought throughout history.
