John Locke's ideas
null
Book •
While not a single book, John Locke's philosophical ideas, particularly those presented in "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" and "Two Treatises of Government," profoundly shaped the development of the novel.
His emphasis on empiricism, the idea that knowledge comes from sensory experience, and his focus on individual consciousness and self-reflection provided a foundation for the introspective and psychologically nuanced narratives that characterize the novel.
Locke's concept of the self as a product of experience and reflection became a crucial element in the novel's exploration of individual identity and subjective experience.
His political philosophy, emphasizing individual rights and limited government, also influenced the novel's engagement with social and political issues.
