What is Locke's educational thought?
Locke's educational thought is: the human mind is like a whiteboard, ideas and knowledge come from the day after tomorrow, and education enriches the human mind. As mentioned in "Random Talk on Education", I dare say that among the people we meet every day, the reason why they are good or bad or the wine of useful and useless words is determined by their education, which shows that Locke believes that human development is completely determined by education.

Theoretical contribution and influence

Locke had a great influence on philosophy and political philosophy, especially the development of liberalism. Modern liberals also regard Locke as one of the founders of his theory. Locke had a great influence on Voltaire, and his theory of freedom and social contract also influenced many American founding fathers such as alexander hamilton, james madison and Thomas Jefferson.
