Topic.
John Locke. Write a paper which situates that writer in his or her time and context. Biographical and historical information will be important, but I will also expect you to analyze how the writer “fits” in with his or her period. What personal experiences might have informed their work? Were they part of a larger trend or intellectual movement? Did they have contemporaries who engaged their arguments? I also expect you to bring the writer’s major arguments into the 21st century and explain how they might apply.
Please also attach copies of the sources with the paper when you send it to me.
