About the author
Locke's biography and nationality are not well documented in publicly available sources; in the Chinese reading world, he is known mainly for his works on politics and education. The library holds six of his works, the representative one being Two Treatises of Government, published in two volumes, which discusses political power, the origin of government and the legitimacy of rule, and is a classic text of lasting influence in modern political thought. Another work, Some Thoughts Concerning Education, deals with the upbringing of children and the formation of character, in a practical and concrete style that stresses the cultivation of habits and personal qualities. His writing is marked by clear reasoning and step-by-step argument, often starting from everyday experience and common sense to make abstract political and educational questions readable and thought-provoking. These works have circulated widely in the Chinese-speaking world and have had a lasting influence on the spread of political ideas and educational thinking.
