John Locke was born in England and grew up during the English civil war between the supporters of the king and the supporters of parliament. Because his father fought for the parliaments supporters, when they won the war, they sent Locke to Oxford to thank his father. At Oxford he became interested in medicine. He also met Lord Shaftesbury, who made Locke his personal secretary and doctor. Through Lord Shaftesbury's influence, Locke became the only philosopher to become a minister of government.
Locke liked Rene Descartes' method of clearing the slate to find out how people learn, but he believed that all learning comes through the senses instead of reason. Reason is only a way of organizing the information that your senses give you. Locke
