"In the Essay, Locke critiques the philosophy of innate ideas and builds a theory of the mind and knowledge that gives priority to the senses and experience"

that is from John Lockes An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, have you been told anything about a philosopher connection for your character, I can not believe it would be coincedence as there are other instances on the show

Danielle Rousseau = Jean-Jacques Rousseau?
Boone Carlyle=Thomas Carlyle

Anyway, great job on the show, I love how you portray locke

I don't think it's a coincidence, Refresh, especially since in the essay, Locke the philosopher seems to be supporting the angle that our Locke is trying to live. I have learned more about John Locke's philosophy on this site than anywhere else. I don't think our Locke is necessarily versed in philosophy but his personal views seem to be in sync with the historical John Locke. Good to hear from you. Terry
