Influential philosopher and physician John Locke, whose writings had a significant impact Western philosophy, was born on August 29, 1632, in Wrington, a village in the English county of Somerset. His father was a lawyer and military man.
Locke received an outstanding education.
In 1647 he enrolled at Westminster School in London, where Locke earned the distinct honor of being named a King's Scholar, a privilege that went to only select number of boys and paved the way for Locke to attend Christ Church, Oxford in 1652.
At Christ Church, perhaps Oxford's most prestigious school, Locke immersed himself in logic and metaphysics, as well as the classical languages. After graduating in 1656, he returned to Christ Church two years later for a Master of Arts, which led in just a few short years to Locke taking on tutorial work at the college.In 1668 Locke was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He graduated with a bachelor's of medicine in 1674.John Locke
