| Can any person think of anything Locke has said, that appeared to be wrong. I mean, he might have made a white lie. But I've always known him to be right in anything he says. |

| Re Locke - when he found it difficult to be in the company of others, when he believed himself to be the focus of hostility and duplicity (a feeling probably compounded by the fact that there was some truth in this). He frequently acted 'oddly' with sudden changes of mood. These 'oscillations' led to situations where he falsely accused others and behaved with scant respect for their humanity. There was something about the way he acted with others that contributed to his being on the receiving end of strong, and sometimes malicious, attacks by people like Voltaire. The 'oscillations' could also open up 'another universe' in which he could see the world in a different, and illuminating, way. I mean - Mikhal was feeding the bears and, if you haven't noticed, he had only one eye! |
